Depends what your going to be using it for! Sony are pretty expensive so i'd look around unless your set on a Sony. You can get much better Laptops for that price.

[Coops]

as said, sony charge ur arse off for what u get, could get a better specced laptop for less than that from acer or similar and more reliable n all, in my experience (used to work as a laptop repairman) sonys are very fragile machines.

but they do look shiny!

Go for a Toshiba mate.....one of the best IMO....Sony are just for the looks really....u could probably get a better spec Tosh for that kind of money

Acers, not good things a couple of my college class mates had them and they always broke. Toshiba are good, same with Dell.

arent Acer made using Toshiba components...

i just bought a dell there, think its gr8, bt i dont realy know much about computas?

[summeh]

My misses bought a new laptop a few months ago, a sony vaio, i've never been a fan of laptops until I tried using the vaio, it is indeed a well thought out human computer interface.

She has had dell's in the past and to be quite honest they are not as good build quality as the vaio, the monitors always breaking at the hinges, keyboards come loose, keys fall off, etc.

I would say the vaio has more style than dell/acer etc, better build quality, but generally a lower spec for what you pay.

If spec is more important for the price you pay, then look elsewhere.

Acer are ok if you want just an average laptop they are nothing special. Depends what you are going to be using it for really
