    Anyone have any thoughts on this model?

    Sony VGN-AW125 at Sams Club

    I never thought I'd consider buying a notebook at Sams Club, but today was the first time I've seen an AW in person (the local store), and it seems like a relatively good deal. The price was $1250.

    Any thoughts on this versus the "newer" AW from SonyStyle?

    This has the 7200rpm HDD, and Vista Home isn't a big problem (I would upgrade to Ultimate with my MDSN subscription). 4g of RAM would suffice for now (I would upgrade it later after getting the VT enabled for virtual machines).

    It has Bluetooth. I don't need/want a fingerprint reader.

    The only thing I don't know much about is the CPU - the P8400. I would be doing random development, running SQL Server/Oracle, Photoshop, a little gaming...

    Thoughts?
