hi. I've found a local deal where I can get the sony vaio SR27k for $1399. Here is the sony link:sony.com. please note this is the one with the pentium 750 and 30Gb harddrive. Does anyone have any experience with this laptop or any of the other slim sony vaios? I already have a desktop and I want a laptop to do the majority of my work on it (with this size I can work just about anywhere I want). thanks for any kind of advice you might give...oh and by the way, my work consists mostly of word processing and some internet surfing...
