prey it doesnt brake unless you bought the sellers extended warranty

if you just have the sony warranty then you will end up having to send it to the south of frace just to get looked at

Think I was loking at the same one today in the Sony shop - nice wide screen sexy lil laptop, was £1259 IIRC....

They had a STUNNING 42" LCD TV - that stood in floating glass - there was no plastic surround, was wall mountable (but came with a stand should you want it) and the picture quality was just incredible - never seen ANYTHING like it for it's size! Before xmas I saw the same thing but it was plasma and although good it weren'ta patch on this baby - this was better than, or as good as, 15" LCD.... And it was on slae - reduced from £7999, to £6250 I'll have two then

Also had a very sexy WEGA (whatever ) 42" rear projection flat screen - also astonishing quality, but didn't like the plastic surround, hto it was only £1650.....

I bought a Sony Vaio FX804 laptop bout 2 years ago (still got it and using it now), AMD Athlon 1500 cpu, 256 meg ram, 8 meg vga card, 30 gig hard drive split it 2, paid about a grand for it, 5 years extended warranty on it

Pity it's gonna break in a year or so
