    A really short question I couldn't find the answer to anywhere;

    Does the 'VGN-FZ4000 CTO Series Notebook' (hence the FZ-model you can personlly configure) available via sonystyle.com come with a 'dual-lamp' screen or with a 'single-lamp' screen?

    x-brite eco has single lamp

    x-brite hi-color has dual lamp (I believe).

    Thanks a lot guys! Three more similar questions;

    1. Are the Windows Vista versions you get 32-bits or 64-bits?
    2. If you don't puchase any additional 'Service plan', what warranty do you then get? Or don't you get any warranty at all in that case?
    3. Finally, one can choose between the following optical disk drives:
      • DVD±R DL / DVD±RW / DVD-RAM Drive [subtract $200.00]
      • Blu-ray Disc™ Read Only Drive
      • Blu-ray Disc™ Read and Write Drive [add $200.00]
      Now, does the 'Blu-ray Disc™ Read Only Drive' (2nd option) also allow you to read and burn normal CDs and DVDs?? Logically I would expect so, but the additional information supplied confuses me:

    1 - 32-bit
    2 - 1 year
    3 - the Blue Ray ROM with also write DVD/CD, I found this in the AR description:

    Blu-ray Disc™ ROM drive
    The versatile Blu-ray Disc™ ROM (BD-ROM) drive on the VAIO® AR730 notebook combines the power of HD Blu-ray Disc™ video playback with the convenience and utility of DVD and CD read/write functionalities.
