Take a look at a good Vaio, i've had one in the past, the Nvidia graphic card wasn't well developed, so it kill my motherboard ( after more investigation, i've find that a lot of laptop of other brand had the same problem with this F***ing GC... 8400mgt if i have good remember )
But the other componant are really good, and there were a lot of plugs, like a mini firewire, an express card... i miss this computer
, now i have an Asus i've take it because of the price/quality, i like it too, but... the Vaio got "something" more.
