Hey guys,
First post, go me!
Anyway, it is nearing the time for me to decide which laptop to get. I’ve looked at a ton of different ones and I think that the AW Sentia is the one. I thought I would go with another Sony since that is what I currently have, but when the AW is cheaper and has more features I think I should go with the AW. I am a hardcore gamer, but that is not the point of this laptop. I have my desktop for that. =)
I do have a few questions though.
How is it to have the ports and plugs on the side of the laptop? I have some ports on the side of the current one, but most things are on the back. Is that hard to get used to?
Does the laptop have a noisy onboard fan? My current laptop (when not in heavy use) is basically silent, making sleeping with it on very nice. It cycles on and off sometimes, but I’m using CpuIdlePro to control that, which is does nicely.
Speaking of which, what can the uptimes be like on the laptop? My current one is left on all the time. My longest uptime was 19 weeks, 5 days, and I had no problems with the machine what-so-ever.
I was using my cousin’s laptop once on my legs in the car and after about 15 minutes I wanted to cry my legs had been toasted so badly. How does the Sentia do on the legs? Most of the time, it won’t be on my legs, but I am just wondering.
I’ve heard split things on AW’s support. I am a pretty do it myself tech repair guy (as long as it doesn’t void anything) but laptops are a different world. Would AW’s tech support/warranty be better than ie. Sony/HP?
I would get the 1.7, loaded. I think... I’ve been reading about the new Sentias coming out, I will have to check those out.
Anyway, thanks in advanced if you open your mind. I hope to become apart of the family soon.
