    i am really contemplating about buying the super sexy aqua blue off the sonystyle for about $800+.

    first off will the i3 w/ 310m be able to run left 4 dead 2 in high details.

    is the new refreshed i3 (2.13ghz) a downgrade from the previous intel model @ (2.2ghz), sry i dont know much about processors.

    or should i just go for the i5 w/ 330m for $900 @ bestbuy.


    thanks

    And the color. That's it as far as I can see. Worth $50 to get BD support IMHO.

    thanks for the confirmation and yes, I'd agree on the $50 BR drive.

    Having owned 6 laptops over the last 3 years, I can tell you that the words "blu-ray" is a huge selling point when you're trying to unload an old laptop on ebay.
