I doubt they'd have the option if it were 32bit. |

Sony customer service blows.
Also... most of the motherboards have a built in soundcard, and when it goes out, you are royally screwed. Edited by Monk - 04 August 2009 at 12:47am |

Ram is incredibly cheap these days. That's way too expensive for a computer of that caliber.

Isn't it a laptop? Mine was $880.
If it's a desktop, then yes. Not that great. |

YES! I was right for once. It is a laptop.
That's a great price for a laptop. The 2.8 ghz upgrade on HP for my laptop wouldve added like, if I remember, atleast $500 in addition to my already upgraded 2.13, which I had to pay for. Plus, 8gigs of ram on a laptop, that has to cost quite a bit. My laptop only offered 6 I think, and it was ridiculously priced. |

If you're wondering, a similarly built macbook pro (15 inch, 2.8ghz, 8gb ram) costs $3200 before any other features are added.

Sony does weird things with their pricing at times...
Back when I got my old desktop (around 2001 I think), a Vaio PCV RS100 it was only $600, with a DVD burner... All the other machines back then that had DVD burners which at the time were brand new... were well over $1,000.
I ordered mine, and a week later when it arrived, on of my co-workers saw it and tried to order one too, and they had raised the price to over $1,000... for the exact same machine...

It's also ridiculously expensive for 2.8GHz when it doesn't do much to improve the performance over a 2.53GHz or 2.66GHz processor. .3GHz might just make a few programs run a few miliseconds faster, but otherwise, it's paying money out the nose for something you don't need. Core II Duo P8700 laptops: Oh looky here! Tons of good computers at far less cost with what are still top-of-the-line processors and everything else he's got on there. |

That is a very good price. If I would have gone PC for my notebook I probably would have gotten that.

Historically speaking, Vaio's compare quite well to Apple's pricing model. AKA they are really expensive. |
