Sony Vaio AR notebook plays full hd with blu-ray drive

[phil]

3000 for a notebook that doesn't even have 256 dedicated memory is pretty bad, in fact it's not pretty bad, it's VERY bad. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665061591

They don't even mention the videocard, so chances are it's Intergrated shared memory with a video solution that is Intel Based. My third laptop, a work computer given to me by my company, is a 15 inch FS series, and that was garbage on graphics as well. I know a ton about notebooks, and trust me when I say Sony offers the Worst Video Solution amongst all laptops. I mean agree that not eveyone plays games so video solutions aren't all that important but when you're spending 3 grand and you want Blu Ray to look good and everything, having non dedicated video memory is absolutely CRAZY! Again 3 grand.

I woudn't even hesitate to ask the Super Moderator of this forum for his opinion, he owns the same notebook as me M1710. Again if you're spending above 2 grand you should be entitled to dedicated Video. But all Sonys are expensive and cheat the customer out on graphics, and if you're willing to buy into it, you're buying into the name. Buying into a name for PC's is not a great idea considering the components are all made by differnt companies.
