first of all, do you need all that memory? why not try out an external harddrive solution? plus if the laptop is ever stolen or drops, at least you got the data on your extenral drive

second, it's not too late to cancel and re-order... it says on the site that your card is not charged till the item ships.

Can someone tell me if the SR uses the SZ port replicator?

I assume the Z does not...

[Duke2007]

I just ordered. check out the opening post of this topic for a sweet deal that i configured!

[Duke2007]

Under specifications tab...

Does the SR have a kensington lock hole??? it looks like it does on the side with the headphone jacks/express card slot (left side)

[prodigy1290]

It should, most laptops have em now.

edit: Actually in the pics, i dont see one, lol

look under the Specificaitons tab. then look at picture on the right which shows the left side of the SR. I think its the hole toward the front of the laptop near the express card slot by the palm rest
