can you let me know what the battery life for this laptop is? thanks

Is this worth buying and selling?

Seems like no one is selling these things, probably because if they're smart they'd get the rebate.

Just wondering.

I just saw that and no return pretty much cemented me not getting this. its such a good deal too oh well

Again, Can u buy it online and pick it up in store ??? or Do u have to buy it in store.. can anyone clarify this ?? anyone called OD yet ??

personally I think ths is much better than 700m. I have a 700m which i bought 2 weeks ago and i am not satisfied with its performance. The keyboard is very cramped and it gets hot. Yes it also came with a 60 GB 4200 rpm hard drive.

Sony's look great, and at 1400$ after taxes its still a great deal...

Is it possible to buy online with coupon code, FatCash, advantage card .. and choose in pick up instore, then do a pricematch or a re-ring to make it sweeter?

already on eBay . great html skills

jplee3 said:darnnn... if i hadn't bought my IBM t42 or if i had missed out or gotten it cancelled, i probably would've jumped on this. although, i definately would hate waiting for all those rebates!

I missed the T42 deal, and have no lappy now. Does it really worth jumping? 4 rebates for 850 bucks, that's risky.
And how is the lappy itself? Any negative feedback from current users?

It's an amazing laptop...extremely light, great screen and very powerful. It'll play any game out there (well, mine with the 9700 will). Battery life is about 4-5 hours. I just got the extended battery, which is supposedly good for about 6:30.

is that batt. 4-5hr batt. life with the extended or regular battery? what is the regular battery life?

Anyone knows?

i can't say for sure but from my experiences buying online and picking up instore it seems that you will not be able to get the instore rebate. cause even though you pick it up instore it's seen as an online purchase. you can do in store pickup option and put in cash as payment option. then tell them to ring you up. my 2 cents

Yeah I was just gonna buy this and probably sell it, but the risk, I'm not sure of. There doesn't seem to be much of an eBay market for these things.
