Hi All,

RE: Sony Viao - VPCYB3V1E/G.CEK query

I'm looking to get a new laptop/notebook - 11.6 wide screen - mostly for showing my photos off (in good bright colour), looking at youtube clips etc and doing some admin/accounts work here and there. I am however a creature of habit and know that i will fill any storage space available and will also want to put on software (supporting my camera etc), video/photo editing suite etc and use the internet. So i need a laptop/notebook that's at least 2-4GB in memory as i will tax it over the course of time! and i want to have 320-500 GB of hard drive! lol

I found the Sony Viao in the sony centre today at £429 but the spec i saw said OS was 32bit but a friend said it was the bit in relation to the platform that i need to be looking at and its that that needs to be 64 bit as a) thats the way the computer world is moving and b) my main PC is 64 bit - so i need to ensure they are both compatible when sharing software etc.

Has anyone tried this new one as its only been out for a couple of weeks? Are there any drawbacks with it? Should i be waiting for anything else about to come out? as i need to spend my money wisely....

Are there any other small laptops/notebooks anyone recommends that would suit me? (you can PM me if its appropriate/possible)?

Kind regards

Sue
