    ok so im in the notebook for a new laptop. for awhile my choice has been the asus z70va... but i was never really happy with having a matte screen. i REALLY want a glossy.

    so now im looking at a sony sz. small better for bring to school, glossy screen AND a good video card,
    (both 7400 and gma 950 switch am i right?)

    anyways i configured one thats in my budget and im really sliding. im affraid if i go look at an old s model at best buy the sony will be bought that second..

    any suggestions?

    If you are worry about the one you configured in Sonystyle.com will go out-of-stock while you do more research, you are worry about nothing. Just reconfigure one when they get new shipment.

    How about the Asus V6va? It has a glossy IPS screen.

    the v6va goes out of my budget, at stores the closest sont i found was the fj which is 14.1 inch.

    while there nice im starting to think a glossy screen wont help in games if its tiny but still open for ideas

    The best glossy is the Fujitsu n3520 in my opinion.

    Yeah after my current HP's 15.4 widescreen, the SZ 13.3" screen is just uncomparable. Im going for FE with the Media Center XP :).
