    Heh, you really asking lots of questions about it huh!? I think it's pretty decent. Definitely. It's not the best out there but it's got legs.

    The Processor isn't the greatest right now but it's dual core which is a definite plus.

    I HIGHLY recommend upgrading to 2GB of RAM

    It has a nice roomy hard drive, a web cam, Dual layer DVD burner, and it's not too big! Even a nice media card reader. This is definitely a very good everyday computer. Just don't expect to run Halo on it! xPP

    It's a good price too. $750 isn't bad really. Plus it's a Vaio... it has some style! The pictures doesn't show but Sony has too much pride to put an ugly PC on the market.

    Yeah I'm gonna save you the trouble.... you can't upgrade the GPU... sorry to tell you that. Almost all notebooks have non-upgradeable GPUs...

    No problem... Sorry to burst your bubble. To get a laptop with upgradeable graphics they usually have to be dedicated graphics solutions with MXM form factors. I'm not positive. You can ask around though.
