I've read user comments about this laptop and... the battery life sucks,
it's slow and badly designed, although very pretty. Bottom line was:
expensive, pretty, but you won't get the best bank for the bucks.
I don't know where I read those, I think I used google.

What about a PCG-Z1SP sony model ? This is what I am planning to buy in a few
months (2-3). Does anybody have feedback for this model ?

Hi everyone,
I've been searching all over the web for solution on getting X going on this
laptop. So far I've had sniffs of solutions here and there but nothing has
worked yet!
I've used Trident generic driver, running at 800x600, 24 bit display. It
kinda works okay but there are little flic

I was talking about Centrino's only. They sound much more promising than
P4-Ms. And battery life is... much better. From all the newsgroups I've
read, the Dells are quite hot too. The D800 uses an Nvidia GeForce 400,
which is quite hot. The Radeon (ATI Radeon 9000) is much cooler and less
