I’m thinking of getting this laptop, because it’s the only one in the Sony range which is within my budget. (Darn expensive Sony…)  
I’m not totaly decided yet, and before I decide I need to ask a few questions because sony is incredibly vauge as to what actualy comes packaged with the laptop.

- Does the AC Adapter/Charging cable come packaged with this? It’s on the list of accessories you can buy in addition it, does that mean you have to buy it seperately?

- Is there anything else I need to use the laptop which does not/might not come packaged with it? Battery packs maybe? I know how terrible Sony is about selling essential parts of their hardware seperatley. (I couldn’t use my PSP for a week because nobody told me I had to buy the memory card seperatley.)

- Is this laptop wireless compatible? It probably is, because its a fairly new model, but I just want to make sure.

- I am looking at a few alternatives from Dell, HP and Acer. Are these the right places to be looking for good Laptops under £600? Do you recomend or discredit any specific laptops or brands?

Thanks. :mountie:
