    I'm considering a move to the FW, mainly due to the screen on the newly refreshed models. I would actually like to use this class of machine in varying lighting conditions without ending up looking like my avatar trying to make out what's on the screen.

    The screen (is the 1080p screen still CCFL?) I'll be checking out at a Sony Store soon, but I just wanted to ask what, if any, deal-breakers you've found with your FW, as well as what is the ekeing (wifi on) battery life of the machine with the updated GPU.
