CompUSA Sony Laptop Contest

Despite the fact that CompUSA closed down most of its stores in the USA, the company is still going strong with online sales and actually has a pretty decent store interface. The site states, “Computer America and CompUSA have teamed up to provide THREE people with one of the hottest notebooks Sony has made (VGN-NR430ES)! Craig Crossman, Carey Holzman and CompUSA representative Lonny Paul announced on July 10th (2008) that three lucky people will win one of these sexy black Sony VAIO notebooks. This is the awesome laptop that has a unique keyboard, incredibly stylish look and real power under the hood too!”

Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman are hosts of the nationally syndicated ‘Computer America’ radio show, which is on every weeknight at 10PM ET/7PM PT.

    What type of GPU does this unit have? Is this a “specialty” item because I’ve looked up information on the provided model # VGN-NR430E and haven’t found anything about it as far as specifications or current price. Even Sony’s website sonystyle.com doesn’t have this laptop listed. Based on the specification found on the contest entry page; cpu speed and such it seems to me this laptop is right on the edge of being out-dated. Especially when you consider that the lowest NR series model listed on Sony’s website is NR460E which has the same cpu speed, ram and hard disk space. Oh well, I guess it would still be nice to win one of these. Probably worth about $500 – $600.
