    Hey I recently purchased this laptop from the sony outletstore (wrentham Massachusetts) for a amazing price of 680 dollars including tax!!! (there is one more in stock, so act fast!!! )



    Question: I have looked high and low through the e series topics but seeing how this is a IVY bridge processor, would it be hard to create a bios hack like the sandy bridge?

    I feel like i'm the only one using this e series on the site, is this true?!!?!?
    I am a power user so if you have questions about anything pertaining the computer, I am more than willing to help!!!!

    current specs

    took out the 750gb hd to a 128gb ssd from my hackintosh 10v mini, installed windows 8 with media center.

    Thanks in advance and I'm looking to forward to participate with you all!

    yeah it actually works at sata III believe, I went with the Agility 3 OCZ 120gb ssd. I know a lot of people sya that the ssd is terrible, but I have recently looked at SISandra and it currently has 100 days power on time and so far haven't seen any freezes or data loss! Once you upgrade the firmware for the ssd, all the problems people complain about on newegg do not hold true anymore. I figure that 120gb does nicely for me as I have 2tb in my desktop for storing movies, music, pictures, etc.
