i just have a couple of questions:
i am interested in purchasing a sony vaio sz 650, and i understand that it comes in a carbon fibre top.
(1) does this pose a problem in breaking easily? if i were to put this into my laptop pouch in my knapsack, would the laptop crack or anything?
(2) has anyone had any problems with this model since they bought it? i have searched forums, but i see very few problems..
thanks.

I have one, the carbon thing is in the restpalm area only, it feels very solid to me...
I don't see anything worth to mention, a perfect laptop for me!
If you have any question, just ask since I have this exact model... -
im not sure if you are from canada, but do you know what the 3 year extended warranty includes? like would they fix wear?
-
Oh, no, sorry, I bought mine from the US then got it shipped to Canada to a friend (had to pay the VAT0 then got it here in Europe where I had to pay AGAIN the VAT (a frakin 450euro), but still remains cheaper than buying it from France or England!!
Can I ask you how much did you buy yours?
I payed 1700USD + 200USD for shipping to Montreal + the unexpected fees... -
As far as problems... search all of my posts, I've had plenty. It's got it's share just like any computer released these days. I would however, still definitely recommend the SZ 6 series over any other notebook of this size. One you buy (and yes I think you should) you'll find plenty of info on this forum to help you get it running tip top. Feel free to message me regarding a clean vista install (others will recommend xp) and what apps, programs, and utilities you will actually need.
I carry it with me every day in backpack full of books with just a neoprene case around it, no problems at all. I love it. -
thanks pomf2k, i added you to buddy list in case i run into a big problem
ok so i bought the sz650ncbut one thing i noticed, and i dont know if its same with others, but on the sonystore.ca, it comes with a 160gigz hdd, but my laptop is only 140 gigz hdd. does everyone else have 140 gigz as the default hdd?

Yea cuz there is a 8gig recovery partition hidden...
-
Yeah I got rid of that recovery partition and bought a clean vista install disc from portable one. Then I just add the apps I regularly use, make sure everything functions properly, and create a vista restore image. Besides you should know that whenever you buy a hard drive with x gigs you are always going to have a little less. My 200 gig for example, 186 in truth after formatting to maximum size.

There's an interesting post on the board about making your own vista iso with integrated drivers as well. Might want to check that out too.
