thanx..it's my first vaio, my first lappy and first time using vista. anything essential i need to do?how about the warranty? the shop says need to wait for 7 days for any prob so can replace one-to-one. if everything okay then register at sony's website. is it a normal procedure?

You will soon find that the Core 2 Duo P8400 is actually very cool. In fact, its cooler than the T8400 on the CR which I thought if pretty damn good.

yeah, it's quite cool. i've used cooler pad and i dont feel much heat even after 4++hr use non-stop (while surfing and movie watching) in a non-aircond condition. i think if i continuously using cooler pad every time then no need to worry about overheating. not very sure if using outside especially when outdoor starbucking..

As for resolution i think it's the same between UK& M'sia, max 1600*900, aspect ratio 16:9. DDR3 graphic? I'm not sure, it's not even mentioned inside the UK's website, wait until I got my hand on the machine this monday, then I'll share with you my 1st experience.
*
it's the same. my fw12g has max resolution 1600*900 aspect ratio 16:9, but still haven't found any dvd movie on my collection that genuinely can take the whole full screen. There is still at least an inch of the letterbox. let us know when u received ur fw, then can compare with m'sian version..my fw working great and i love it so much!

love the sr series..nice sexy looks and feels..it's kinda like fw resized for mobility. even the lid cover design is similar to fw. but it's pity sr12 doesn't come with gpu and one have to add another 1k but for the upgrade to sr13. but i wonder why they bundle sr13 with vista business when clearly sony themselves categorize sr series for home use..?

the price is as in sonystyle website. now the price for SR series dropped RM500. SR12 now at RM3,988, SR13 now at 4,988. Of course SR13 is higher spec than SR12, diff is SR13 got 1gb more RAM, fingerprint sensor, bigger hdd and dedicated graphic using ATI HD 3470 GPU but only 128 RAM.

tongue.gif thanks for being an early adopter. laugh.gif j/k j/k

srsly, the first FW 12 that sony brought in was very overpriced compare so FW from sony USA. for rm 4988, over there can get P8600 CPU with bluray d. nod.gif
thats nice, can post some comments about the screen? i saw one on sale but it wasn't turn on. if my budget not enough might get this one too. smile.gif
another potential buyer rclxms.gif

the only regret is the dedicated memory for the ATI GPU is now 256 instead of 128...higher spec for less price!!


Added on November 21, 2008, 8:20 pmguys, need some help. i want to uninstall some of the bloatware sony has include in my vaio fw12 since i'm not using much of them. but dunno which one is actually necessary n needed by vista and which one can be safely remove. any advise?
