Getting Laptop But Which One?

here is the 2 i have put it down to. for my price range.
i dont know much about computers/laptops so i thought i ask the people of GR.


its between this Sony Vaio - http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3360561/Sony...op/Product.html

or

Acer 5051 WLMI - http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...sm=null&tm=null

 

What are you going to be using it for? Gaming? Work?

I would go with this one:

ACER 5051WLMI Laptop

 

Id go with the Sony hands down. Ive had Acer, returned it to the Store. Ive got Sony and I love it. Ive looked at that model myself actually and thats a superb price for it.

Nice desicion to have to make!

 

Graphics Card: Intel GMA 950


he wont be doing any gaming with that... As for which laptop is better, even tho acer is a good company, id go with sony vaio

I couldn't find the warranty details, so make sure to take a look at those too.

 

it would be for watching Movies, Music, grahpic design and playing a few games like Sims, Cryisis, Transformers.

 

sorry about the 2/3 post at same time my internet went funny cant delete it

cryisis? lol

you would have to spend a bit more than that to play games on a laptop. If you could, get a desktop instead otherwise a laptop for everything else is good. Might want to check out the 2gb memory ones if your ganna be using vista.

 

lol well go with the ACER laptop if you want to try to play those games. You have a better chance then the intel graphics card since that on is horrible.

 

I dont really think either of those can play Crysis. But I don't know much about laptops but I've heard the Vaio is really good.

 

If I were you i'd get the Sony. I heard lots of complaints about Acer.

 

As graphically demanding as games like The Sims are, I think you'll be fine on the Sony.

 

I have an acer, half of what the one you want is

80G HDD
512 RAM

Its awesome Acer all the way!

 

Don't get the Sony.
Vaio's are overpriced and their hardware is proprietary, meaning if you want to upgrade it later, you're stuck buying from Sony again. They'll rape you on the price. Go with the Acer.

 

what are you talking about? You can always add ANY kind of laptop ram same goes for hard drive, and other parts... Vaios arent exactly overpriced but its not cheap at the same time.. Acer is a good company, but a lot of people dont know about it, at least where I come from. So I'd go with the trusted name, which is sony. ( I DO trust acer as ive bought from them in the past, but im talking about a company in general )
