    Hey Guys,

    I am currently using a HP TX1000, which seems to be dying on me, doh!
    This was the first laptop i purchased which was not a Vaio and i am planning to go back to a Vaio. I have had a C1MSX, TR3A and a S380 and never had any problems with any of them, why did i have to go for a HP! lol

    But seriously now moving on i am looking preferbly for a TT/TZ Vaio. At the moment i have come across this TZ

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Vaio-TZ-VGN-TZ298NX-11-1-CORE-2-Duo-U7700-1-33GHZ_W0QQitemZ170342805315QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_comp_laptop?hash=item27a938ef43&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A4|39%3A1|72%3A1234|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A200

    Is this a good price for a refurb TZ? I need to get one as cheap as possible.
    I would prefer any T Vaio with at least 200GB HD, 2GB RAM and a DVD/RW drive (doesn't have to be internal). If anyone knows of anywhere i can get something cheap i would appreciate your help.

    Thanks

    It is not worth that much. Tz has 2 major problems. It runs hot, and it is slow, has a slow HDD and also pata. TT runs cool, and much faster. You should look for a used TT if you do not want to buy new.
