HOT deal on a Sony SR7K VAIO Super light notebook...only 1699!!! Comments welcome

I know what you mean about the z505... I thought about that one, instead. However, it is a bit bigger, costs more, and ... um... isn't as cool-looking...

That's a good question ncg



<< xl46, do you notice any real difference between the 5 and the 7? >>

I have the PCG-N505VE, which is the predecessor to the SR#K series. I don't find the screen to be too small at all, even if it is running at 1024x768. I recommend going to a store and taking a look at a disply model first though.

is only 1559 at compdirect.com (dont know if refurb)

Keep away from compdirect.com ! Check it out at resellerratings.com ,it has horrible rating.

 

[hanybanoub]

yes FuzzyBrian I agree.

 

[w3b]

would have to agree about compdirect. not a good reseller from personal experience.

 

[hanybanoub]

anyone else?

 

[dr wily]

dude i would so get the z505 for 20$ less. its much sweeter. you absolutley need that screen space, i dont care how sharp that 10 inch is. go to frys or something and look at em both.

 

[hanybanoub]

I think you're right dr_wily. I'll have to go and look at them again @ CompUSA

 

[hanybanoub]

My only problem with the z model line is the poor battery life. Some only have 1.5-2 hours MAX

 

[hanybanoub]

anyone else?

Still would love to hear from owners, or past owners

FOR SR series, depends on what you are working on, it normaly runs 2-3 hrs using batteries. It is a Li-Ion battery. Well, most online auction sells SR5K at $1250-$1320, and SR7K at $1400-$1500.
