Question from MJW: Asked on 23/11/2010 Please can you confirm the differences between this model and the slightly cheaper VPCF12M0EB model. As far as I can see it is the RAM size 6MB instead of 4MB and the HDD being 7200RPM as opposed to 5400RPM. Is the rest of the specification identical? Sorry to be a pain but I want to ensure that I buy the right machine and this looks like even better value than the cheaper model assuming everything else is the same such as screen quality etc. Do you have many of each of these in stock as I may require 3 but will not be able to order until early December. Thanks.
