    Questions for all the Sony experts:
    Are the FJ model all crap:
    It seems every one I asked locally says to stay away from FJ Series.
    I noticed they are well equipped and very cheap so I was going to pick one up but the consensus was to void this series.
    Please help, whats the big issues?
    I have been told these have a tendency to have a lot of dead pixels over a short period of time.
    Screeching noise and loose parts.

    Personally I would not buy the FJ series.

    Right now if you configure the FJ from the Sony website you could only get, at best, Intel Pentium M Processor 760 (2.0 GHz).

    And the Intel GMA900 sucks for gaming.

    I'm 90% finished with my review for the Sony FE790 which is a much better, overall, laptop. I just need to add pictures in the right places, do spell check, and the review will be up.

    Looking forward to you review, the FE or the N series was going to be my next choice but just wanted to know the scoop about the bad press on the FJ.
