Well, my new laptop arrived yesterday and I've finally got the configuration just the way I like it. It's a Sony Vaio VNG-SR290 which I imported from the US, in total it has cost me just under 650 pounds (Approximately half the price I would have paid in the UK for the same machine) it has 3GB of RAM running at a refresh rate of 800MHz, a 2GHz dual core processor, nothing too massively blow-me-out-of-the-water there really, although I am quite proud to say that it runs Vista 64bit edition, which leaves me far more wiggle room in the future for upgrades and such. What is fast becoming an incredibly comfortable chicklet keyboard and LED backlit screen, the same sort of thing Apple did 3 months ago is what my laptop currently has, I have definitely noticed the difference in brightness compared to my old one, I didn't think I would. Other than that, a few fancy extras that are nice but non-essential, webcam, fingerprint reader, although I note that I get firewire and the new Macbooks don't.... *giggle* Am currently running down the battery a few times so it remembers what a 100% charge is.
Anyway, unboxing photos:-
On the right of this photo is the documentation, which Sony very kindly put in a plastic wallet which I am duly keeping duly safe. One the right is the battery supply and transformers, I was smart enough to realise that Sony use a standard input between the transformer and the mains which really worked out for me.
And the final shot is of my 'new baby' shortly before birth, yes I do get protective about my computers.
