    at bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca (owned by bestbuy),
    they have the vaio NR430DW for $1099
    the specs they give are:

    16.4inch screen
    Core2Duo P8400
    3GB RAM
    250GB Harddrive
    DVD +/RW
    unspecified ATI graphics card
    HDMI output


    however I'm pretty sure NR Vaios are only 15.4inches (only FW's are 16.4), and I'm assuming this is a mistake on bestbuys part?

    It's a typo, it's actually an FW140D

    Hey Ceenote how are the speakers on the Sony FW? I am thinking about picking the FW up at futureshop. The review says the sound is pretty weak.

    I don't know, I just ordered it a couple days ago so I haven't received it yet. Just so you know, if you order it from sonystyle.ca, there's a $100 coupon so I bought the FW 140 for $999 which was a pretty sweet deal.

    Like mentioned it is the 140D, I believe CeeNote posted this in another thread and I then realized it was the 140D comparing the prices on sony's site and BB.
