Answer 1

That is a great computer! Fast processor, 2 Gb of RAM, and huge hard drive, all the bells and whistles. However, that is NOT A GOOD PRICE. Go to nextag.com and it will link you to all the sellers that have it. You can get it right now at Office Depot, Circuit City, and a host of others for $1,349. The lowest price currently available online is $1,282 + shippping and handling.

If you have one and go in person to a local vendor e.g. Circuit City you will save on the shipping costs (usually jacked way up by Ebay sellers).

Also, make sure you get the operating system you want. Get Vista Home Basic or Premium if for home use (not the Business Vista advertised on the Ebay model).

Bottom line great computer, go for it, but buy it elsewhere than Ebay-go to NEXTAG.COM.

EDIT answer to your edit. Yes the GB are good. 2GB of RAM is top end and will allow you to get most out of kickin' Vista operating system. 160 GB is a huge hard drive storage. Store like a zillion songs, etc. You'll never fill it up! And this model comes with a DVD-CD combo writer so you can create record to blank CD and DVD in all formats, burn CDs with music or photos, create DVDs with video, or use DVD to storage a massive amount of music. The model you're looking at is Sony VIAO CR-120E/L. Again, go to nextag.com and search "sony laptop" and you will see at least 4 vendors all selling for less than the price in the link you provided.

Answer 2

Check it out at www.sonystyle.com and see what you think there... however:

Is it new? NIB (new in box?)
Is it for USA customers?
I would not buy it if you are in the US and it was not intended for a US customer. Choice is yours, though.

My friends that have Sony's like them. It is pretty well equipped but I have no idea if the price is a good one. Good bus speed, 2gb of RAM is a plus, multi-format DVD writer... but no Blu-Ray. Does it have the operating system you want?

If you want it because it is pink... it could the be only pink one you can find. Good luck.

Answer 3

depending on what you plan on using the labtop for, its not a bad price but again its ebay. Do you really need 160gb?

Answer 4

yea its worth it. that system should be fast with 2gb of memory that comes with it. go for it.
