    Good Points: Excellent performance, aesthetics and build quality

    Bad Points: Video card is pretty puny by today's standards

    General comments: I bought my A290 a couple of years ago factory refurbished. To this day, it's still a phenomenal all around multimedia machine. Something very special. Just wanted to put that out there. Well recommend the Sony Vaio VGN A290.

Wanted to partition the HD w/Vista on one and XP on the other. SONY rep said it would be a bad idea. Vista doesn't run everything I need it to. Oh wel ...
