Hi

Im looking to buy either a Sony Vaio T250/L or a Sony Vaio S380.
Now i have looked on ebay for the S380 and have only found 2, but both of which have only 40GB HD. Im looking for at least 60GB HD.
Also i would prefer WinXP Home Edition.
All the various S380’s do not seem to be differentiated with letters from what ive seen where as with the T series you have T250P/L and T250/L.
Im located in the UK, but tend to buy off ebay as i tend to make savings of around $900+ on UK prices.

Does anyone know what the S380 series model names are?

Thanks In Advance
Zak

I believe the S series uses a 2.5” hard drive so you will be able to upgrade that up to about 100gig yourself.  There are threads on this site which explain how to open up the laptops.
The T uses the same 1.8” hard drive found in the TR series, and currently they’re really only available upto 40gig, although 60gig versions are available they’re not at all wide spread yet probably due to Apple using them all for iPods!

Last time I looked on ebay there weren’t that many of either T or S’s so you’ll be lucky to get to choose between XP home/pro.  You might just have to ask each seller individually which it comes with if they haven’t listed it.

Thanks Matt for the response.
I would prefer to purchase one with the 60GB HD installed, rather then installing it myself, knowing me i would mess that up. lol
Well the T series has more available on ebay. Waiting to hear from a few people who had listed some before they were sold so waiting to see if they have anymore.
