If anyone is looking for BF/Cyber Monday deals, this was by far the best mid/high range laptop I could find. Never owned a Vaio, but the price of $749 is great.

Vaios are so awesome. Like I said have mine for 3 years now. Had one problem with it and the support is really great. 2 days after I wrote a mail a vaiodude knocked on my door and took my laptop. Got it back one week later, no costs and everything went smoothly after that.

Strongly considering buying this one now, with added ram and maybe ghz.

My current pc is on the fritz so I just ordered this with help from Doggz. Any other comp wizards have any thoughts on it? Basically, all I'm going to use it for is poker...

suchsickaments, you think this will work ok with my monitor?

Pretty weak RAM and CPU these days. You can get an i7 and 8 GB ram in a lot of desktops for under $1k easily... I bought my desktop about 3 years ago (maybe 2) and its a weaker i7 with 8 GB RAM... Today I'd def not buy with less.

He's getting a PC for poker and 2p2. Getting a better CPU or Ram would just be a waste of money.

This, Frank sounds like my good friend who is changing laptops eveyr year and upgrading every year his desktop cause "this is not top of the line"

He watches DVDs, plays FIFA and poker obv (along with HEM)

Gimmea ***** break, all the hi end expensive configs are for gaming and hitech design or other stuff that we don't do ..

The Doggz config could use more RAM since HEM eats a lot of it and it will make things smoother as well with a better graphics card + more ram

As far as the I3, its more than enough

DoGGz · 11-26-2011, 07:09 PM

Just to be clear, I told him if he wanted to spend $800 on a pc he should get the above + an SSD.

aseHigh · 11-26-2011, 07:23 PM

SSDs are so expensive and so awesome but I'm not sure they're worth it (for poker)

Maybe a for a mega cg grinder..

I've had my desktop for over 2 years with no plans to upgrade, and my macbook pro for almost 2 years also with no plans to upgrade. I don't buy POS computers specifically so I won't have to upgrade every year or w/e. Running a massive HEM database, TN, 4 poker sites, and other applications is a huge drain on my laptop with 4 GB RAM, but on my desktop with 8 GB it's okay. Things will only get more resource intensive as time goes on so why have problems down the road when it's only a few hundred $ more for a non POS desktop.
