This is just a quick e-mail to let everyone know my experiences with my Sony Z600-HEK. For the most part, it's a good laptop. The ethernet port works fine, as does the memory stick slot. The one MAJOR thing that it has going against it is that it really was built for Windows. Certain things just don't work under FreeBSD. Some of these things are vital to my day to day use and are as follows: 1. Screen brightess - Only works under windows. When you press fn-5, it pops up a brightness control in the center of the screen, and you use the jog dial to adjust it. 2. Suspend - same thing 3. LCD / Monitor selection - same thing. So that's my 2c worht. Otherwise, it's a nice notebook. If it wasn't for these problems, it would be a gorgeous laptop. -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
