Hello,

I found a laptop that i think it suits my needs but im not totally sure so im going to ask for suggestions and for some feedback on this.

The specs are:

Model: Sony Vaio SZ 61 MN/B
Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista® Business
Platform: Intel® Centrino® processor technology
Chipset: Mobile Intel® 965GM Express Chipset
Processor: Intel core 2 dual core
clock speed: 2.0 GHZ
Memory Speed (MHz): 667
Memory Type: DDR2 SDRAM (2x1024MB)
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive: 120GB
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS GPU
WLAN: Built-in at 54mbps
Battery LIfe: max of 5hrs

At first glance this looks to suit my needs and has a good price on it. But however theres some aspect im not too sure about as im not a specialist on this area..

1) Most plan to use it for work during travel, mostly involve apps such as office 2007 system and all others. I believe it will work fine though...

2) From time to time i have hobby interest on computer programming using visual studio. Learnt that theres huge demand of processsor space required for that to run efficiently & smoothly so im not totally sure if above specs will meet it requirements..

3) As im travelling a lot, most time i will be connected to a network to access internet and at the speed of 54mbps, doesnt that seem to be a bit of slow - i know much higher speed out there avialable like 108, 300 mbps etc... OR does that matter at all??

Thanks in advance.

Should work fine. Any C2D will give you good performance.

As for #3 - even on most T1 lines/commercial settings, you won't get more than a 1MB speed anyway. Don't worry about it :)
