I ordered my first Sony today! An SR290 with the titanium gray finish. I wanted all-black but had to get a preconfigured quick-ship model to get a good deal. Between the $200 techbargains discount (TECHBARGAINSVAIODEAL) and the education discount, I got it for about $960. Free shipping with arrival by 12/24, so I should have it soon.
This will be a huge upgrade from my heavy, hot, slow 6-yr-old Dell! Now off to read more threads...cheers all.

That's a fantastic price and a really nice lappy. Congrats.

Not bad, not bad. Just as you'll be getting yours, I'll be sending mine back, lol. The colors on the screen are weird/dull.

SR is cool and much easyer to be taken on a trip. If it could provide a better graphics, i would have purchased it instead of fw. All for Star War 2~

Congratulations on your purchase and investment. I personally have a CTO of the SR290 series and I love my unit. I have only had it for about 2 to 3 weeks now, but I have done a lot of different things (even messing around with Ubuntu) and I have got to say that except for a random BSOD here or there when I probably hit one too many buttons, this thing has been as solid as a rock. Hope yours turns out just as well!

And I hope I don't regret not getting the midnight black, which I do like better... How do you find the battery life to be with the 7200rpm hard drive? Did you dual boot Ubuntu on the SR290 or replace Vista? I run Ubuntu and WinXP machines for my workstations.

Since the sale tax varies so much in different place, could it make a profit that a OR resident(for exp.)purchases laptop online then sells it in a higher price (still much lower than the total price for another state's people)?
