I generally like to have at least 1GB, but the x505 won’t be used for too many multitasks or even anything that would need the ram…I dont plan to code or test on my x505, its strictly for note-taking in class.

The BT I will only use in the car with my BT GPS so I dont mind plugging the Sony BT module in…I won’t have a BT Keyboard and mouse (I never used them anyway) so its not like it will be there at all times.

This PC seemed to fit my needs the best…hopefully it will work out…if not…well, let’s think positive!

No, I quit my job and decided to go to Law School…the TR is just too big for me for class…if you can imagine that.

yay! I can’t wait to see your pics!  :D

This is getting me really really excited. I might hold off getting the X505 until I see tifosiv’s review. I can feel your excitement, dude . . . just hearing October 1st is making me shiver.

Congrats on the sale!! Looking forward to your review.

im more interested in his first impressions and critical thoughts than the pix

lookind forward to it

Wow, that would be cool…converting 2 other TR users to 505’s.

I doubt i’ll do an entire review on the 2nd…I want to use it for a day or so to give it a full review.

So far i’ve already ordered the items in my Signature, so expect reviews on each of them as well.

I am still deciding if I want the briefcase or not, its about $400 but it really doesn’t hold anything beyond the notebook (ie no books) and its accessories. What would have sold me on it is if it had the money carrier cuffs…that would be hot!

Erik

forget the briefcase ... definetly not worth it

ill stick with the original sony bag…

Hey Tifo,
You mentioned that you got the USB BT as an accessory, you should have waited for the latest gadget PCGA-BA2. It will be available soon here.

Thats the only item not on order, it’s the one I am getting for free from Sony after I purchase the laptop.

What makes PCGA-BA2 different? (I wish it was black)

Erik

get me one free too :mrgreen:

where did you order the x505

link?

I ordered it from iCube…
 

I am getting the BT for free because I am using my Sony CreditCard and I am getting enough points to buy a $150 Sony item for free.

Yes, I am going to rip it apart and see what I can do. If I cant swap the board, I will ebay it and get a US x505.
