not all C2D has 4mb cache, even for desktop also only E6600 and above processor has 4mb L2 cache. for laptop is T7200 and above

Agree wit u hangy2k.. For laptop, only T7200 n above processor will have 4MB L2 cache.. For desktop, i m not sure... Correct me if i m wrong.

i game on my FE38 not the SZ48 which it should run fine on both because i played q4, q3, hl2, hl2 epi1 all fine with max settings :]

Guys... question: Is the VAIO cleaning kit worth buying? How do you guys keep the lappie clean... I'm having dust problems at my workplace so it tends to get quite dusty... the monitor is easy to swipe clean, but the keyboard and speaker area, not so. Recommendations?

^ i think you can try 3M cloth or the cloth use to clean the spectacles glasses to clean the monitor. as for keyboard and the outer casing, just use handkerchief. thats what im doing now.

imho, i think buy it only you have extra cash for it. because there are many alternatives available out there.

you can try buy low power mini vacuum to suck out the dust inside the keyboard

Yeah... thats what I've been using really. But I really feel like getting a mini vacumn cleaner to suck the dust out of the small gaps in the keyboard. I use usb mouse too but the SZ keyboard is full sized and I find it comfy to use.

i only use keyboard when need
or else always external
experience from my old compaq tells me tht keyboard is 1st to "jalan"
maybe vaio keyboard dif i donno.

My vaio c13's spacebar is already giving me problems now

what the symptom? less sensitive?
try send repair? or just use external keyboard >_>;
thats why , i prefer use external keyboard not only when im using VAIO but any notebook, because when i do gaming and typing words for some hours, sometimes, i hit the key a little rough LOL. ;

The spacebar just don't give any respond when I tap at the both side ends of it, the centre part is working fine. I'll be sending it for repair when I go back to Malaysia, I just regretted for not paying for the overseas warranty.

Not cheap leh the overseas warranty..RM198 for 1 year international warranty. Today just went for SZ48 at Sony KLCC...but d*mn they told me no stock...wth man...have to wait 1 week at least...
btw, any comment on Sony MidValley n Sony Style The Curve? Is the service good? May be I will get my lappy from Sony Style The Curve.

doesnt matter where u get from
warranty is from sony
can go any sony style for service

Is it? Have u been to SonyStyle The Curve? Apa macam their service?

patience is virtue
and seriously, i like sz in term of design and portability. it's just sleek notebook.
i think this week on axn, sony style show is going to give a review on G series and L series.

What time ah the show?

Sony Style TV Magazine :
8:30:00 PM 27-Apr-2007 AXN Duration: 00:30

thats as far as i know lor
havent heard of bad service from sony
but, if buy from sony shop, is no discount.
but if u go distributor, discount also abit only <100 bucks

one piece of advice, never go to sony style for warranty claim or service. make your move straight to the sony service center instead. faster and reliable.

How much time sony gonna take to repair our laptops approximately? Few hours or maybe couple of days?

Yala...get from sony shop is no discount at all...At 1st was bargaining with them to give me International warranty 1yr for free...mana tau is totally NO from them... Buy from distributor shop have to be in cash right?
