1.2 GHz Core Solo proc, 1.5 GB RAM. 80 GB hard drive. 1366x768 11.1" widescreen. 2.8 lbs. Normal price? $2300 new (with .5 GB less RAM).

I paid $1000 cash for it from a (cool) yuppie coworker who was unloading it from her collection. a few scuffs on the hood, but it's less than 6 months old and barely used. runs vista ultimate like a dream.

FUCK YEAH. my wife immediately squealed when she saw it and claimed it as her own. i am the master of the computer deal.

me: :pimp
you: :bow

Quote from: CNet review
Aside from its tiny case, the Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P/W's most remarkable feature is its battery life. In our drain tests, the Sony VAIO VGN-TXN15P/W lasted a mind-blowing (and record-setting) 9 hours, 42 minutes. That's 1 hour, 27 minutes longer than the previous battery life record-holder, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60s, and hours longer than other ultraportables. The most likely explanation for this longevity lies in the VAIO's cutting-edge screen technology; the VGN-TXN15P/W's LED backlights are much more energy-efficient than the fluorescent lamps traditionally found in notebooks. We have to commend Sony for achieving the Holy Grail of battery life: a full day's work on a single charge.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on April 26, 2007, 11:49:35 PM

That's what I'm talking about. You don't pass these kinds of deals up. Trade it for some grade A white.

You've got to get over the GameLife jabs.  They don't phase me, they just remind me that you and I have different ideas of what a fun project is.

I'm permabanned from GAF. I will browse the EB pic thread one of these days.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on April 27, 2007, 12:08:47 AM
the purpose of the laptop is its light weight and small form factor. it's great for travel. it's not a gaming rig.

SMALL SCREEN!

The screen on it is REALLY nice.  If he didn't buy the machine, I was going to.  I've been eyeing ultra-portabled, and this would've scratched my itch at half the cost and performed better.

i posted pictures of our wedding some time ago -- like 3? 4? years ago -- back when i took this game of internet oneupsmanship more seriously. they are flattering to her but very much not to me. i look like i have a giant stick up my ass. which i might've. wedding pictures suck. if i'm in a mood to be photoshopped into oblivion, i'll dredge them up.

Don't tell me, your yuppy coworker was making the "switch" right? Gotta love it! Yes, let me benefit from your shallow computing decisions! I wish I had more switchers where I work to take advantage of like that. Unfortunately, they are already life long Mac users (art school).

she and her husband are multi-millionaires. when they aren't traveling, they're apparently packing their 6,000 sq. ft. kirkland home with electronics. i do indeed consider myself exceptionally lucky!

Lee! I'm so happy for you! Where are you going to have the wedding?

And yeah, we moved at the end of last year. We're in Arizona now :rock Steven and I called and spoke to Alberto about 2-3 weeks ago and I emailed Manuel recently. We keep in touch a bit, but it's difficult living so far away. I miss them all a lot. I might go back to Atlanta to visit this Summer though.

PM me some pics of you two!  :-*
