    This is my first time buying a Sony Vaio so any suggestions would be nice. I noticed people talking about double-lamp technology and I was wondering if they're talking about the XBRITE-HiColor.

    Another thing is I notice is that Canada doesn't have Engraving for the FW model. Do you think they will offer Engraving in the near future?

    Let me know what you think about these configs.

    * Intel® Core 2™ Duo Processor T9600 (2.8GHz)
    * ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470
    * LCD 16.4" (XBRITE-HiColor™)
    * WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n) with integrated Bluetooth® technology
    * 200 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [7200 rpm]
    * DVD +/- R DL / DVD +/- RW / DVD-RAM Drive
    * Standard Battery
    * Windows Live OneCare 90-Day Trial
    * Video Premium
    * Powder White
    * Microsoft® Works
    * Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business with Service Pack 1
    * 4 GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 2GBx2)

    Lol so you fully load the FW with the highest specs possible, and you come here asking if its good? What do you think? ;)

    Whether or not those upgrades are WORTH THE MONEY is another question, but that I don't have the knowledge to answer.

    engraving is a bad idea because of resale value imo
