    I have a chance to buy a friends vgn ar590e before it goes to ebay... I have a few questions about this notebook that i wanted to ask before I take the plunge...

    1 is this model fairly reliable or one of Sony's "better ideas" ???

    2 can the processor be changed out to a t 93, 94, or t9500 without too much trouble or is that maybe a waste of money ???

    3 can the nvidia 8600m be upgraded to a 9000 series or would that be a waste of money ???

    4 is the ATI tv wonder worth having and work well---this one is unused and still wrapped and boxed from the factory...

    It is about 1.5 years old and very lightly used... It is an impressive looking unit but sometimes looks are deceiving... It came pre-built with Vista Ultimate and i thought these all were built with Home Premium ??? Thanks in advance with any help or opinions...
