251207 2004-07-22 04:14:00 depends what sort of tasks your doing, the centrino has superior battery life which is a big plus. Unless your wanting a laptop for gaming then the Centrino would be a better option. If buying a laptop for gaming its more important to consider the GPU, currently the best is the Radeon 9700, unfortunatly it doesnt preform like its AGP cousin as it only has 4 pipelines. Its offer preformance comparable to a desktop 9600. Pete O'Neil (250)

Has anybody tried a parallel to usb cable?

She has a parallel port printer but if she was to get a laptop it mostly comes with a usb port only!

251209 2004-07-22 04:58:00 The ability of a parallel port printer to operate from a USB to parallel converter depends a lot on the ability of the printer driver to recognise the "virtual" printer port.

Some do, some don't.

The only way to know if it works on that piece of hardware will be to try it.

251210 2004-07-22 05:02:00 Dude both those laptops suck, they are way overpriced have a look at Dell or something you could get at lot more feature for a better price. Pete O'Neil (250)
251211 2004-07-22 05:05:00 Make sure that the VGNA15GP comes with the DSCP-73 digital camera for that price they have on it!! Otherwise it should be the same price as the PCGK76P or even a bit less. CYaBro (73)
251212 2004-07-22 05:18:00 I actually wonder why sony is so damn expensive!

I told my friend to look for dell but she says sony looks prettier.
The laptop exterior looks betta

251213 2004-07-22 05:37:00 Granted Dell arent exactly pretty :) seriously dude your friend is gettin ripped off, take her down to your local DSE, Harvey Normans or Noel Lemmings and get her to have a look there. Tell her that Sony laptops break really easy or something just dont let her buy a Sony. Pete O'Neil (250)
251214 2004-07-22 06:45:00 Tell her it has bad Feng shu and will make hair grow on her lip,that dogs will attack her, and even schoolshildren with no freinds will mock her to her hairy lipped face. metla (154)
251215 2004-07-22 11:50:00 That's odd all the laptops I have sold all have a
parallel port?
