    Hey guys, I'm wanting to buy a sony laptop. There are some questions I have. What kind should I get? Do any of them have backlit keyboards? Also is the FW the only one with HDMI?

    I will be using this more less as a desktop basically. For e-mail, photo editing, video editing, web design, etc... perhaps some minor gaming and videos.

    The FW is certainly popular for what you seem to need it for, how portable does it need to be? How much do you have to spend?

    SR, Z, TT also have HDMI.

    FW will be updated soon with ATI 4650. It's worth it if you're into more serious gaming.
