to all those who have experience with sony vaios:
i'm in the market for a new laptop and i'm looking at these two:
1) Sony VAIO VPCCW22FX/P
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5608017
14.1" widescreen, light pink, intel i3 processor, 5.3 lbs, $900
PROS:
- 14.1" makes it portable
- reviews seem good, even if there aren't that many out there
CONS
- color could be better..though i could get white or black
- integrated vid card prob means i can't do anything heavy with video or games if i choose to play any
- unclear battery life
2) Sony VAIO VPCEB16FX/P
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5732578&body=MAIN
15.5" widescreen, metallic pink, intel i3 processor, 5.9 lbs, $900
PROS
- i like the color
- has a dedicated graphics card/better performance
CONS
- 15.5" screen is a little bigger than i'd like, though it's the max i'd go
- no reviews to speak of/use as a reference
- battery life only 3.5 hours
basically the only difference is that laptop 2 is bigger and has dedicated vid card...otherwise all other specs are pretty much the same (other than size/weight). however i'm not much of a gamer...i probably won't run anything more graphics intense than warcraft 3.
the size is an issue.. i know what 15.5" looks like and i feel like, even though it's usable and i like watching videos on it, it's a tad big for my preference. 14.1" though may or may not be too small. i'll probably go to best buy in a few days to check out similarly sized laptops to see how i feel about it though.
so does anyone happen to have any good advice? or any other laptop models i should look at? i'm looking for something:
1) attractive
2) good mobility
3) won't overheat!!!! that is the problem with my gateway, but bk thinks it's a hardware problem
4) quiet
5) good graphics etc for image editing, light gaming, video playback
6) great performance, specifically looking for intel i3 processor or higher
not necessarily in that order. any ideas?
