Howdy.

I'm TDY for the next 4 - 5 months, and don't have room for my desktop.

Looks like I'm buying a laptop in the next day or so.

I've used a buddy's A105 4334 before, to great effect.

I'd like to keep things under $1400....this one should come in at about $1100.

I don't intend to do anything particularly strenuous - watching DVDs, e-mail, world of warcraft, etc.

The only other serious contender is this Vaio, the VGN N250 EB. The processor is slightly faster, but it only has a gig of ram.

Is there any overwhelming flaw with one or both of these?

Should I buy something else from somewhere else entirely? I'd like to get this soon, and from the BX, because I won't end up paying sales tax, delivery, etc. And there's instant gratification.

Appreciate any input.
