Pricesmart had a Sony VGN for c550,000 (with English keyboard and English Vista). Same laptop on Amazon was $700 with more memory and larger harddrive.
Actually Sony VAIO VGN-NS140E/S is $799 on Amazon and c549,000 at Pricesmart. Quite a decent price, only $200 premium. Although Amazon is 3GB RAM/250GB HD, Pricesmart is unspecified RAM (2GB I hope! 1GB I'm afraid)/200GB HD.
If I decide not to go ultra-portable subnotebook I'll pick it up. In English too.
Did you know you can specify different languages per user with Vista Ultimate? My home desktops are *loud* and just using on-board graphic chipset. Was considering just buying quiet fans and graphic cards, but I'm not sure they're up to spec for Vista, and that's a pretty cool feature. Although I could wait until Windows 7 comes out.
