About to order this (sony vaio). What you think ?

@OP. Is the T430s also not on your list?
you can go m-sata + enclosure battery + 6 cell (or 9 cell) + sata hard drive ...

edit: - the "s" mean it's thin

Jeez... people! the Sony Vaio is expensive because of the weight! 2.0kg for 15.5"! 2.0kg is in portable(if not ultra) class already! You cannot compare apple with oranges! Thinkpad and the IdeapadY580 in the other hand weight > 5.5 pounds! huge differences!

Back to topic, I think it is a great deal considering Full HD + IPS screen (Y580 and thinkpad dont offer that!) It has a very wide viewing angle and nice screen! However, the Sony IPS is known to have orange gate problem which tends to display red as orange... some said minor some said major...

Graphics card is a bit weak compared to others but if you dont do a lot gaming you should be fine with that! and now you get a free battery which makes this a pretty solid deal

Thanks !

4.4lbs for a 15.5"...love the Sony S series as an alternative to the Lenovo Thinkpads especially with the price you are getting it for.

Edit: Just noticed the sheet battery weighs 1.35lbs, lol. Good thing its free.

I heard someone from other other thread you have 2 options:

Option 1) Free battery + 5% cashback
Option 2) Save $100 + 5% cashback

You just go to great canadian rebate to get your cash back... but you can only choose between battery or save $100 according to that person...
