[dba-Tech] What do you all think about this laptop...

I am leaning towards getting it.  I have found conflicting info on the HD,
one place says 5400rpm, the other says 4200rpm.  I believe it is a 5400rmp
drive.  If I do get it, we'll see how fast it is.  If it seems too slow, I
might swap out the HD for a faster one and Ghost the original.

I was just checking that out for my wife. (I usually buy Sony laptops for
home users that will spend a little extra. They always have great screens
and multi-media capabilities.) 

I think if its as reliable as the ThinkPad's used to be it's a good deal. I
don't know if they are. What surprises me is that you'd never have seen a
ThinkPad at that price range (maybe a refurb - which would've still been a
good deal).

I know that's not much help but I'm still thinking on it...
