Gotta Brag, New Notebook On It's Way!
Thought I'd mention it now rather than when it arrives since I will be too busy playing with it. But yesterday I ordered a new Sony Vaio notebook. Here's the specs:
Sony Vaio GR300
1.2GHz Intel Pentium III-Mobile Processor
15.0" SXGA+ (1400x1050) Display
16 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON-D Graphics Chip
256MB SDRAM(I will be upgrading to 512 rapidly)
40GB Removable Hard Drive
DVD-ROM Drive
Windows 2000 Professional
Ports: Ethernet, Firewire, TV out, USB, V.90 Modem, VGA Output, PS/2, Headphone, Mic, PCI Slots, Parallel, and Sony Memory Stick Slot
1.5" thin and weighs in under 7lbs when optical drive is in place

I'm really excited about this for several reasons. 1) My home & work networks are both setup with wireless networking, and this will be the first item I'll have to actually use it. 2) My Sony TRV-900 Digital Camcorder will hook up perfectly to the Vaio to edit digital video. 3) Gaming at friends will be easier with not having to take my whole PC and monitor with me.
Note to my wife: Trust me, there are plenty of other good reasons why I felt it necessary to buy a notebook. I'll go over them with you tonight.
Thx!
