    I am looking to purchase a Sony Vaio VGNFE28GP and wanted to know if anyone has had a play with it as yet?
    Also as it has 128mb of dedicated video(GPU) ram it should run the aero experience nicely.
    Any comments etc? cheers

    A GMA 950 should be sufficient for aero. Needless to say, the 7600 Go 128MB should run it perfectly fine. About the FE28GP, it shouldn't be a bad laptop. I've only seen the Canadian models (exact same thing but with GMA graphics only) in stores and I'm overall impressed with their build quality. Pretty sharp design too. One thing worthy of note though. If you see yourself being bothered by paint peeling off quick-launch/volume buttons, getting the FE wouldn't be a good idea. Don't know how prevelant this is, but I see people complain about this enough on this board that I know it isn't an occasional issue. Other than that, it isn't a bad buy.
