> How are you liking your vaio phil?

Love it!

It's heavy as f*ck, battery life sucks (2 hours roughly) but I bought it as
a machine to use at home so none of that matters really - I have a really
skinny Compaq if I need to take a lappy out and about!

Screen is superb - I keep being surprised by how bloody bright it can go!

I don't play games on mine (other than Windows Pinball) ... iProntoEdit is
suprisingly demanding on resources though and I wanted something that I
could run that on and be able to see email / MSN / IRC at the same time.

What I do need to try to find out is whether I can just replace the
internal
WiFi card with an 802.11a/b/g card as I'm looking to move to 802.11a.

> And with 1.25GB of ram its more than capable of doing that!

Only got 512Mb in mine - I assume the second RAM slot is under the
keyboard?
I thought you had to have both slots filled the same though?
