Pardon a dumb question: what's the main difference between this and the higher cost 24 inch VAIO?

The lesser version has the Intel Core - i5 processor and the higher cost version has the Intel Core - i7 processor. The latter has increased caching and clock speed.

The 670 is a year older than the 770 and the pricing hasn't been updated. Just buy a 7xx series now if you are going to buy new...or better yet, wait until the 9 series comes out.

Just spent a few hours figuring this out. The A and VT refer to two different type of video card setups. The VT is the Nvidia cards with the GraphiX Boost switchable graphics. This means that there are actually 2 video cards in that model. The idea is you only use the more powerful board when using intensive graphics like in gaming, which helps save battery life. If having better battery life is important you you, the VT would be best, but it will raise the price a good bit. The A is a single integrated videoboard, so is more ecomical. The -a2, -c1, x5 parts I haven't figured out 100%, but seems to be things like case color, OS, battery size or something else like that. Be aware some come with higher capacity batteries. The speakers are on the bottom of the laptop, so it might sound best if on a hard surface, but I haven't tested that & am just guessing there. Hope this helps!!

I seen them both side by side. The ASUS is better when it comes to pictures and streaming video. I don't do major HD editing or anything. I do photo shop..youtube..dj/production..and excel spreadsheets. For these tasks..it's fine if not more then perfect for this. AOC is good but not slim and pic isn't as smooth as the ASUS. The new AOC for $119 would be a awesome choice if you are looking for something cheaper then the ASUS. I hope that helps you. :-)

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

The Lenovo website has a few different models. Exactly which one are you talking about? 59370007 Seems to be the closest, it has the same CPU, RAM and GPU combo. Only difference is it has a 24GB SSD hybrid and costs a little more ($1049 + tax). I don't think the 24GB SSD gives enough performance boost to justify the $100 extra.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

JT has an Intel i3 proc which is a little nicer and the graphics card is a little newer. For most people the difference is not HUGE. So if your on the fence and you really want to save the $130, the VT is great. I am typing on mine now and I got it almost a year ago. A freind of mine also just got the JT after seeing mine and he loves his as well. Both are great computers. I have Steam on this and play Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Battlefield Bad Company 2 all on this on moderate settings with no problem. I also type reports on it regularly with no issues.

No it's not. Anyway, i think it is too heavy to give it a "tablet" use. If thats what you are looking for, stick with vaio flip, i have one also, and it is a lot lighter and faster, because of the ssd derive.

As you mentioned, the main differences between the UL50Vt and UL50A are the discrete graphics and DDR3 vs. DDR2 RAM, and according to Best Buy's website, their UL50A is not Bluetooth enabled. If you're OK with not having the nVidia discrete graphics, then the Best Buy one seems to be a pretty good deal. I would stream a bunch of YouTube vids at full screen at Best Buy and if the video quality is solid (not jagged or stuttery), then you should be happy with the less expensive one. Also, supposedly the noticeable differences between DDR2 and 3 is neglible, so it all comes down to how much do you value the extra graphics and Bluetooth?

The short answer is display port. The long answer is for basic computing and monitors under 22", you won't see a difference between the three interfaces. It depends on if what you are doing is video intensive and what the system you are connecting your display to can support. I only use business applications. You are better off bouncing this question off a gamer or designer if you are looking to use it for that.

I chose the Philips monitor - can't now recall the exact reasons, but I believe that it was due to slightly higher ratings and a little less cost. I'm happy with it. But, for my other office, I spent more and got an HP Envy 32 - slightly wider and the height is great.

It really depends on what you're looking for; i.e. what game(s) you're trying to run. I honestly don't know enough about specs to tell you whether the extra 2GB of video memory is worth the extra $60. My advice: go for the 4GB and you won't regret it.

I personally bought the eMachines eM250 (the exact equivalent of the Acer Aspire One D250, just rebranded) from Walmart for $228 by seeing it in the computer cage up in Maine. The EXACT same thing except WITH a bigger harddrive (250gig). Personally I love it, and even though the keys are slightly cramped (89%), I didn't want to deal with the Dell touchpad which is a pain in the butt. I'm a computer guy, and I played with it in a Staples to see if I liked it, but no thanks. Also the Acer/eMachines is a breeze to upgrade the RAM. Just remove a screw, pop out the 1 gig, and put in a 2 gig. So if I may, I would suggest stopping by Walmart to see if you can get lucky like me. Has a cool brushed nickel look to it too (but its plastic). I've put it through the ringer, and it is surpisingly pretty powerful! Here is the Amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00323G71S/ref=s9_simi_gw_s6_p147_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0TVG5SXWRB9HWKSRM88K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846

The only listed difference between the two systems is that this one says it has dual NVIDIA GeForce GT750M cards, and the 59390951 model on the Lenovo website says it has dual NVIDIA GeForce GT755M. That's it. 750M versus 755M. That most likely means the cards are very, very similar, with the 755 being a slightly newer reproduction from the same line. Performance difference between the two is likely to negligible, especially when running them in a dual configuration. Also - the model on Amazon is selling for $100 less right now, and that is including the $400 coupon Lenovo says they are offering. (Base of 1599 minus 400 = 1199)

Hi. Its really thin and light, no doubt about that. I bought this laptop only because I did not get anything cheap with that thin and light ultrabook look. But, regarding gaming: i have no clue, but this laptop is on the slower side in terms of configuration. Maybe its the processing speed or RAM or its just because of Windows 8. I don't at all like its Speed.

To be honest I am not sure, what I heard is that the only difference is the box that the keyboard comes in. Get which ever one is cheaper
