QUESTION NO 1:
It has by default only 6-Cell Battery option. Can I give back that 6-Cell and with extra payment get 9-Cell battery?
QUESTION NO 2:
Someone told me that:
"dont go with a 13.3 inch screen with that resolution, it will be wierd and many pages will be too large, if you use Firefox, then you tube videos will not all fit on that screen even."
IS IT CORRECT? Justify?
QUESTION NO 3:
It has 64BIT OPERATING SYSTEM;
64BIT WINDOWS VISTA
I have tones of 32BIT Softwares and none 64BIT. Will 32BIT softwares they work on that 64BIT Operating System?
QUESTION NO 4:
Can i install 32BIT VISTA ULTIMATE ON IT?
Usually You cannot give back the 6 cell battery for 9 cell if you have used it. they charge you sometimes just for opening the box. BExt thing is talk to the sales people and get yours configured with 9 cell. on the other hand, 9 cell will look very weird on a 13.3. 6 cell will stay flush while a 9 cell will stick out. As i am imagining you are going for sony for the looks and the brand, it will damage the look of the lappie. If you want more battery, go for an integrated solution(my thinkpad t500 gives about 7+ hours battery with the integrated graphics(i have switchable graphics to get more power on the need) . if you want to game, multi task and watch movies, go for a bigger screen and chassis to handle the heat, resolution and discrete cards, but be prepared to carry more.
It wont matter what resolution you take, it will take some time to get used to and you can work fine with that resolution. but make sure you dont get a headache to backlight LED screens because some people do get headaches. you can always zoom out the text and videos in a firefox. i have a WSXGA+ and it has tons of screen real estate
I use vista ultimate x64 and never had a problem using any 32 bit programs. there is the WOW64 subsystem that can run any 32 bit app in the 64
bit environment. initially i got vista ultimate 32 bit with my machine, but with premium and ultimate versions, if you buy a 32 bit OS you are eligible for a 64 bit version of the OS. If you get the media, you need to take backup of the Activation or else you need to call Microsoft for new activation, check out the "Orev's Activation Backup and Restore (ABR) program" and it is quite a pain to get the 32 bit discs from the company. i suggest you stick with 64 bit OS, you can address all the 4GB RAM, very stable, fast performing OS and half the viruses don't work on it .
Yes you can install vista ultimate 32. why do you wan to throw away a perfectly working 64 bit vista business. in my opinion. the upgrade is quite a waste of money for some pretty useless features. all the ultimate extras are made quite in a hurry and are pretty useless .
for 75k, you are better of with a Mac or a xps 13 with three years warranty. Also try to get into the win 7 upgrade program, so that you can get win 7 when it comes out
