Iam about to buy a sony laptop.

Are sony laptop good/worth buyin??
The laptop that i want to buy is ::::::::::

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-AR290G-Notebook-Processor-Blu-Ray/dp/B000HS5TLU

The person wants to sell it to me for $850.

Should i buy it or can i get something better for that price.

Can you please give me your opinion on this laptop and tell me if iam gettin ripped off.

Is there anything that wrong/sucks on the laptop??

HELP me out and tell me should i buy it or not??

thanks alot for your time



 
Seeing as the person who bought it payed over 3K for it, 850 isn't a bad price at all. The only thing I don't like about it is the graphics card. That's only a problem though if you want to game. It's got a good CPU, a good amount of RAM and a Blu-ray drive. I don't think you will find that in the sub 1K category. As long as the unit being sold to you is in good condition, it's not a bad deal.
 
WOW that's a really good deal, if the laptop is in good condition. with a Bluray drive for 850$ first time i saw. hehe
 
definately a good deal unless you want to play the latest, more demanding games very often
