Sony Z1WA

Hi everyone,

Ok. I think I've narrowed down my search and will probably settle with the Sony Z1WA with 1.7 GHz Pentium M. Does anyone have thoughts on this machine? Are there options that I need to get on it?

I've read that this computer comes will a bunch of things already installed that hurt its performance. Is this true? How do I avoid this?

I need to get MS XP Pro. Are there foreseeable complications in installing this?

Finally, where is a good place to buy? I've been to CompUSA, is there a good place online? Or a good place to customize this computer?

Thanks so much for all of your help! I'll be looking forward to hearing what some of you have to say.

Dan

Check out the product brief and the prices.

 

Any more thoughts?

 

I just picked up my Z1 from the Sony store in Toronto yesterday. Be careful! I asked them for the WAMP1 version with XP Pro - they charged me for the WAMP1 but gave me a WA (XP Home)! I had to treck all the way back to exchange it. They were pretty appologetic but did not offer to 'do anything' for my inconvenience.

About the machine....I think I am in love!
