Looking to get a laptop for the wife.. not looking to spend to much. I found a Sony Vaio for $811..



specs on laptop.. VAIO GRX 670 (2.0GHz Pentium 4, 512MB, 40GB, DVD-RW/CDRW, Windows XP, 16.1''TFT



Anyone have any info on these?? good? bad? Anything as good for cheaper out there???



Thanks in advance...

$800? That aint bad. I am not a big fan of Sony but for that price I would go for it. What kind of Software does it come with? Is it new?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

sony makes very good units. if the machine is new or in warranty see if you can purchase an extended warranty through sony just in case anything fails on it. is the unit brand new ?

Its brand new.. I dont know if I should get the warranty.. I'm sending to my wife in Japan.. dont know if they could help her there if something happens to it..



here's the webpage.. http://laptops90.com/sonyVAIOGRX670.html

seems like a good deal



but i wouldnt trust any store that is selling something for 2-3000 dollars off of MSRP.....seems fishy



do you know anything about this company....i would do some investigation before a purchase....who knows if the laptops are hot or if they are scammers and will keep ur money and dissapear



i mean..would you buy a PERFECT CONDITION FD WITH 25,000 MILES for 2000 bucks?....something in that deal is wrong....and 800 bucks for a 3000 dollar computer sounds a little wrong as well

I've had my VAIO R505 for a bit over a year now, no problems at all if you don't count the time I crashed my network and screwed up the OS. But that was my fault, now it's running great again. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

thats why im on here...trying to find info.... and I'll tell you what.. you find an FD for $2000 let me know. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif
