    Hey guys,

    Well I went from a Vaio A150 to the SZ 220 P. My two real choices were this or the Dell M1210. I chose this in the end and its pretty cool. The final deciding factors were I could have it today, and that it doesnt really heat up. The ones in the store never heat up and even using a battery it was decent.

    For the keyboard/spacebar - i was able to find one that worked. I noticed it was more the demo models that had the problem. And actually, its more the extreme left size, bottom corner that gave the problem. There is a slight effect on this one but not much..

    The other problems i noticed on some of the sony models is that it vibrates too much under the palm rests. I actually got sony stores to open about 5 of them before i found a new one that didnt vibrate (and piss me off).

    In the end i got what i wanted, and the machine works fine.

    Just deleting all the AOL etc crap now!

    Thanks, i've been focusing on moving files over - 9 gigs music, 5 gigs photos, and a few other things. i think i took up 30 gigs already. but now my computer feels 'useable'


    any recommendations on what else to delete? or how to get that dumb finger scanner icon from appearing in the taskbar at startup or the 2nd security (norton) one?

    also, im confused about why i have like 5-6 ways of connecting to the net....
