Just to make sure my thinking is correct here, the motherboard/chipset needs to be 915 (i.e. not a laptop that can only support the 855 chipset)? Could one expect to have better battery life after changing to an 855 chip?

Thanks, guys.

Can you only pinmod the 1.6? Does anyone have the link for the guide?

Yes, it can be done. Yes, it will void the warrenty. You order all the parts you need from Sony, but it costs more than if you speced the laptop with the Bluetooth option. You can find a thread about it here:...

I'll start you off with an offer of 1500 + shipping.

I love the Sony S series. It's the laptop I am looking at getting for myself (considering I can't find a WSXGA screen for the X50 either). There's a s270 with 2.0ghz 1gig ram and 80gig hdd with 2 years warrenty (with their current...

I'm forever a WS fan. I don't think I could get another 4:3 ratio TV or laptop. Here is the full Australian spec model: NP-X50T002/SAU PROCESSOR: Intel Pentium M(Dothan T750 - 1.86 GHz) (FSB 533MHz); Intel Centrino; (Intel...

It's not hard to use the WASD key layout for CS:S on the laptop keyboard and a USB lazer mouse (which gets its power from the laptop).

The HK model should come with 1 year international warrenty. Some countries only get domestic one year, others international. For some reason we (Australian models) get 1 year international and 3 domestic. If you really want the WSXGA...
