    I see this is on sale at bestbuy for 699.99! Is this a good computer for just basic internet/microsoft word? I know im supposed to go to the "what should I buy", but im just asking in build quality and is the screen nice? I know sony is known for having nice glossy screens! Also is it possible to upgrade cpu to a t5500 or t7200 on this laptop? or can it only be the t2050 or whatever it comes with? To sum it up im a college student just wanting to search internet and type papers on the go, and maybe watch a dvd or 2 but thats pretty much it! Will this work? or is there something better in this price range!

    It will be more than fine for those purposes. I think it is about as good a buy as you can get at that price range; another option to consider is some of the lower cost HP notebooks which seem fairly nice too.
