I'm pondering purchasing a new laptop... my old Vaio is absolutely

Anyone experienced with this product?


Sorry, I am not. Just used a new Lenovo at a client which is ok but the
plastic case appears too flimsy for my taste.


Alternates?


I've got the predecessor (D14RA) of this one:

Absolutely love it, so far. But it is certainly not light and it may not

compile run about 30% faster than all the others during a Cypress
session. What I really liked was that it came with some non-announced
goodies such as an RS232 port.
