I picked up a new laptop and didn't really know what I was getting - oh well...
It is a Sony VGN-FW270J w/ P8400 dual core processor and 4 gig of ram and a 320 gig HD. Turns out it is a 64 bit operating system. I didn't know the ramifications of that until today - starting installing software and device drivers. Well some older software is not compatible with a 64 bit operating system. Also some hardware. My laser printer will not work with it - no upgraded drivers made. My ink-jet "All-in-1" had new drivers available.
I will say that MS Office 2007 is really fast with this system. Computer start-up time is also really fast - in comparison to my older Sony XP laptop.
This laptop has some nice features: wide screen, Blue Ray drive, HDMI 1080p output - can't wait to hook it to my large screen TV.
