Was thinking of purchasing in Aus or maybe Singapore when we stop over, but decided to purchase here in UK.

Came with 2 years worldwide w/tee free. 160 gig HD and 2 gig of RAM.

Would be interested to know if they avalable any cheaper in the country's mentioned. As i was led to believe the cheapest place to purchase a high spec laptop is here in the UK.

Any thoughts from those already in Aus?

For some reason, it's hard to get sonys cheap here, they must have their dealer network sown up really tightly. Can only go on Equivalents

Can get the following for circa 1380 Aud... About 500 quidish.

LG E500-S.A8X2A T7500/15.4”/2G/160G/DVDRW/WLAN/Bluetooth/Webcam/XPP

The sweet spot, that are getting pushed out at present are at slightly lower specs. lots of competition in this range at present......

Benq R55VUV08 T5500/1G/100GB/15.4”/VistaHP Around 1100 bucks, or 420 quid.

Both are good kit.

Do a cnet comparison and see how they compete with the sony.
