I know obiously its not as powerfull as the Dell XPS however I felt that the heavyness of the XPS and the battery life of 1.5 hours wasnt very practical for myself who travels frequently. Would it run for example Eve-Online or Battlefield 1942 (Not Battlefield 2)<BR /><BR />On the Bluetooth is there an option for the BlueTooth Headset? I know on the SRX51P my bluetooth software that came with my vaio did not support bluetooth headsets (Logitech Mobile Freedom Headset) and had to buy a usb dongle which kinda upset me as the idea of the internal bluetooth was to prevent me from buying another usb addon.<BR /><BR />Is there a possibility that I will get a "Dead Pixel"? Or is that not very likely on the Sony Vaio laptop LCD's? If did however get one by bad luck would the store exchange it since I am spending around £1400 pounds of it.<BR /><BR />Many Thanks.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 13 Nov 2005 02:21:59 GMT Mr_DoughBoy 2005-11-13T02:21:59Z https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/couple-of-questions-regarding-the-vgn-s5m/m-p/30951#M103080 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hey,<BR /><BR />After my LCD broke down on my SRX51P which Ive had for around 4 years, I tried to find a replacement LCD however found that the price for a new screen to fit by sony was £400 + fitting then + shipping, I have decided to buy a new laptop instead.<BR /><BR />Currently Im looking to buy the VGN-S5M tomorrow however have a few questions:<BR /><BR />Is the battery life really 3hrs if it was put on "normal operation" under power management?<BR /><BR />What does it preform like on games?

I'm using S5m and i can say that the battery life is about 3h. I installed Battefield to make some tests. And it's working properly..<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 24 Nov 2005 09:59:54 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/couple-of-questions-regarding-the-vgn-s5m/m-p/30954#M103082 cenk134 2005-11-24T09:59:54Z
