Ok, I use "trading in" as a euphamism since no one will offer me MONEY for this Vaio, but still...

I have a Sony PCG-Z1WAMP laptop. I run Feisty and it works pretty well except for the following...

1. ATI Video that won't run direct rendering in anything other than 1280x768 even though I can run up to 1400x1050 without DRI.

2. Hodgepodged install of qSynaptics that needs to be reactivated every time I reboot (which is not much admittedly!). Plus, I am about to resolve this.

3. Older Pentium-M 1.6 gHz laptop.

So, maybe worth buying a Dell laptop for better graphics performance?

What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Mike...
