Are you comparing an ultra-light notebook to a desktop?


my thoughts exactly. the vaio has to be an ultra-light laptop for the price - and usually these have lower speed processers just to conserve battery. it's like comparing apples and oranges (do the same comparison on a macbook and imac).

hard to compare it when i've got no details. do you know the model and what it was shipped/prepared with? if it had a full version of office that could bump the price up a couple hundered bucks right there.
