I'd suggest you do NOT buy a Sony VAIO. The basic stuff works - like the 
screen, harddisk and keyboard - even mouse/touchpad. But then comes the 
trouble.

- I still have unresolved problems with USB
- I still have unresolved problems with ACPI
- Intel Wireless works but linkstate goes up and down
- Battery does not hold what it says: I have never got more than 1:30
   out of it - and they claim more than 3 hours - (I assume with power
   off)

But the screen is really great. So, my conclusion is that it is ok as an 
advanced DVD player/mail reader.

Cheers, Erik
