    Looks pretty good to me! I assume you're upgrading the RAM yourself since you got 1GBx, which you very well should. It takes 2GB to get Vista running snappy. I am a tad concerned about the processor, maybe you could step it up 1 level. You won't notice the difference in regular computing, but whenever you do anything CPU intensive, you'll notice.

    Overall I think it's a nice setup and I'm sure you'll love it!

    What kind of tasks will you be doing with this notebook?

    Also fill out the FAQ and post it in the what notebook should i buy section and/or here (mention that you are interesting in the sony 6x series if you post it in the WNSIB).
