hi, i would like to know if this is worth buying for the long run because i want to be able to multi-task on the laptop very easily and have smooth transitioning. but also, i want to know if i would be able to boss smoothly and gameplay wise on maple. so if you can judge these settings for me, that would be great. oh and this is a Sony CS series laptop.

Seems a little pricey for the specs.

I bought one, it's awesome. I'm not sure if I could play maple on it though because I haven't tried downloading yet. But tell me if it works :D

From what I see here, It has a nice amount of RAM and it has more than my desktop and I also run on Vista 64 BIT. The processor is fine also, you should be able to multitask with Maple on. Have you got any idea of what kind of graphics card is inside of it?

I got a 250 gig hardrive laptop for $100 less. About same specs also lol

That is honestly a huge ripoff. You are paying +$300 just for the brand name.

If you really like the Sony CS model then I guess you should get it. (it would be cheaper to customize it on those ibuypower type of websites but i actually like sony's laptop design better) if your planning to just play maple then it should be fine. you should upg the HDD to 7200 RPM for 28$ more though. and upgrade the core to Intel� Core� 2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.00GHz) cause it jumps from 1 MB L2 Cache to 3 MB. if you are a college student you can get 8% off too.
