    Hi

    I was about to buy the FZ11S but today it was sold out.. From sony, they told me to go for the FZ21E cause it´s a recent model and the FZ11S was not in the market anymore..

    And here are the differences between FZ21E and FZ11S:

    Microprocessor Full Name
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250, Supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7100, Supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology

    Microprocessor Speed (GHz) 2
    Microprocessor Speed (GHz) 1.8

    Memory Size (MB) 2048 in both
    Max. Memory (MB) 4098
    Max. Memory (MB) 2048

    Display
    Display Type X-black LCD
    Display Type X-black LCD with double lamp technology

    Graphics
    Total Available Graphics Memory of 831MB and dedicated Video Memory of 64MB
    Total Available Graphics Memory of 895MB and dedicated Video Memory of 128MB

    Isn´t the display from the "old" FZ11S with dual lamp technology better than the new one without dual lamp? And what about the Graphics?? Those are the main factors for me because this notebook is going to be used to fly Flight Simulator, so the graphics and the display are of extreme importance..

    If it was not for this factors, I would choose the FZ21E, it´s new and cheaper than the old FZ11S but the display and graphics are very important and some days ago I went to the shop and used the FZ11S and that display was great!!

    I can find the old FZ11S in a few resellers but I´m not yet sure for which one to go.. the old FZ11S with a better(?) display and graphics.. or the new one.. :confused:

    Are the graphics and display worth to go for the old one ( FZ11S) instead of the new one ( FZ21E) with a better processor?
