Which Sony Vaio should I get? I am mainly going to use it for the wireless internet around the house, and would like it to be light, but dosent have to be extremly light. I also would like fast and duribble laptop.

why a Vaio? the Xbrite screens are a bonus, but why a sony? a simularly configured smaller brand system could a better deal. As you've read the CL56 by Compal is a popular option because it is fast and loaded for the latest games. But at nearly 6-7 lbs it is not for you. there is that super skinny 2lbs vaio out there...(dont remember model name). it is not as fast, but seems to get the job done. if performance isn't a top priority for you, you might want to check out TabletPCs because these tend to be lighter. And to cross teh final fronteer, Apple Powerbook 15" could be for you unless you cant stand OS X and if it is in your price range.

You're probably looking for an ultraportable. The Sony Vaio TR series and the Fujitsu Lifebook P series might work for you. Why don't you check out Cnet's top rated ultraportables?

Go with the Sony Vaio Z1 series...over the Fujitsu and I only say that because the Fujitsu doesnt get good ratings on any reviews...its usually 3/5 stars or less... I have the Sony Vaio Z1 and it works great...I think it would be great for what you want to do.

Sony S! (not real durable tho)

You could get a smaller sony A series... one of the 15.4 widescreens. Or a 15" non widescreen.

Xbrite is really nice... I'm in love I cant stand other displays now lol

The 15.4 inch Vaio A (A 140) is like 7.5 pounds!!! Almost 15 inches wide! Not exactly something you want to lug around alot...
