Since I already own a half decent laptop and owe a billion dollars in student loans i have decided to sell it. Online it goes for just over 2500$(www.sonystyle.com) since its really rare at only 300 of these machines made. Buy it yourself from him and donate to TL. =.= | ||

If you truly want a work only laptop, even a 2ghz single core with 2gb ram is fine. Heck, a netbook will be enough. The SS hard drive and 8gb ram are just excessive for any purpose. Until SS drives go down in price, regular hard drives will almost always be more bang for your buck, especially on laptops, which generally last at most 3 or 4 years. And although 8gb ram is nice, the difference you will feel from 4gb and 8gb rams will be almost nonexistant. I mean, look at the 2gb of video ram available for the graphics card. At this point, the number of games that can benefit fully from the 2gb ram is nonexistant. Indeed, the 9300M card will limit the gaming and other graphics performance so much so that the 2gb ram won't feel like anything special. ....Of course, I do find the OP's actions commendable... but I don't understand the people here who are offering 1500+ for a sub optimal laptop like this. | ||

If you want a gaming laptop, a 2ghz dual core/4gb ram is enough, and after that it's the graphics card that matters. At the very least, if you want modern games running smoothly at playable settings, you should aim for 9600M GT as a baseline.

I think that the whole limited edition thing jacks up the price a fair amount, even though I agree with many of the points you outlined here. Besides, you don't need a great graphics card to play Starcraft. | ||

Its made for people with $$ (or lack of something else) to impress ladies in conference room. Having 2 graphic chips on a book is just waste of space if you ask me. | ||
