I don't like to hear that as I am also going to buy Sony notebook soon. But I
cannot find any other notebook fulfiling my requirements:
- 13-14" widescreen LCD
- nvidia graphics
- wifi
- DVD+/-RW-DL
- 3 hours battery life (extensible by second battery)
- bluetooth, weight <2kg and docking station are also welcome.
Do you know about some alternatives to Sony Vaio S4HP? I didn't find any,
mostly because of nvidia graphics and smaller LCD. ;o(
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Mixi
