Did you notice if your battery life increased? Is 7 better for virus and spyware protection?

So I'm thinking about switching to Windows 7 from XP and I can get Ultimate from school for only $20, The thing is I have a relatively slow computer, I have a IBM ThinkPad T43 @ 1.6Ghz with 1GB and Intel graphics. I have read different articles saying that 7 is faster then XP in somethings...

I feel like the most indecisive person ever. I went to the Sony store and really liked the SR but I also checked out the CW, it's the 14" equivalent. It's mostly the same except it's less attractive, $100 less, has DDR3, and the NVIDIA® GeForce GT230M GPU (512MB VRAM) and has a shorter battery...

That's what I was leaning towards. The only apprehension I have now is whether or not wait and get a laptop that supports DX11. Again, this computer is not primarily meant for games but I do have a lot of gaming to catch up on, about 3-4 years. I have a ThinkPad T43 currently, so it's going to...

Alright, I'm pretty close to biting the bullet on this one. I'm going to the sony store to make sure I like it in person. My question now is, Windows XP or 7 and why?

So now I'm trying to decide between the 2.66Ghz and the 2.53Ghz the price difference is $50. I'm leaning towards the 2.5Ghz.

That is exactly the answer I was looking for. I don't have enough knowledge on the matter to make a educated decision, that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

oh, I knew what he was getting at. Whether or not something is worth the extra money and wasting money are completely different things. I was hoping for a useful comment.

Where did you read anything about wasting money?

So, we're at 2-2 on the faster processor, based on the price vs. performance difference. Any other takers?

A friend of mine has had his Vaio for over four years and hasn't had any issues. I'm pretty sold on the faster and twice as much video memory, not to mention the lower price and better looks.

So in everyones opinion, do you think it is worth the extra money for the speed and cache bump?

...And that was a let down.

I've definitely decided on the Vaio. I'm just trying to decide on which processor.

I know the answer to my question is an opinion, I just want some input though.
