I don't like to hear that as I am also going to buy Sony notebook soon. But I cannot find any other notebook fulfiling my requirements: - 13-14" widescreen LCD - nvidia graphics - wifi - DVD+/-RW-DL - 3 hours battery life (extensible by second battery) - bluetooth, weight <2kg and docking station are also welcome. Do you know about some alternatives to Sony Vaio S4HP? I didn't find any, mostly because of nvidia graphics and smaller LCD. ;o( Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks Mixi
