    So ive been looking for a new laptop to get..im still in college, my old one just broke. Im not going to play any games...atleast i dont think i will be (i might be tempted to buy some low end game just because, but im not gamer). Mostly going to be using it for homework, tons of music and photos and some videos maybe. i know i can go with a cheaper laptop, but i really like this one and dont mind spending the money on it.

    Im planning to customize this laptop off of sony.com to make it:
    1.83 Ghz from 1.66 ghz
    160 GB Ram from 120

    do i need to get Wireless LAN (802.11a\b\g) and Bluetooth Technology [add $20.00]
    in order to allow my laptop to get internet anywhere or can i just go with what is already installed.

    Anyone give me some reviews on this laptop if u have it? opinions are welcomes as well....anyone think this laptop is TOO MUCH for what im going to be using it for ?

    I would recommend you getting a sony vaio FZ series. It looks cool and it's newly released and the price is also similar to FE. You can customize it with the configuration you need. Built in wireless card with BT comes standard in the FZ series.
