Sony Vaio Vgn-N38ew Thoughts

Does Anybody own one of these N38 series laptops? Comet currentley have them for sale at £499.99 , and with 15% discount I can get it for £425.

Is it worth getting if I am going to want to play Football Manager , and possibly Pro Evo Soccer also?

laslty , would there be any easy way to get Comet to replace the Vista with a version of XP?

Thanks
RFM
