See, body of samsung laptop is fine and I think E series is plastic too, correct me if I'm wrong. You have to only compromise with backlit keyboard thats it!
Features and spec wise, samsung is heavy among all. It has amazing 900p anti-reflective screen with 300-nit luminescence and nicely designed.

^Yes, you can do it replacing ODD with 2nd HDD with help of a "HDD caddy".

Thinking...I really like the looks of Vaio.. but again 3612 is 2.1 ghz vs 3610 2.3 Ghz..sony has let me down here... Literally I dont care about the graphics ..as I game on my PS3...
Like I said I will check out sammy at stores.. may be will help me decide.. backlit is kind of looking like a deal breaker ..

Hmm its really funny to see some guys praising the Samsung 550p screen as if its a great screen when the fact is the only good things about it are the matte finish and the resolution.
Apart from that -
It has pathetic contrast ratio. Much less than even some 35k laptops, and maybe the lowest of any 40k+ laptop.
Color accuracy is a joke
300 nits brightness is false advertising, It's only about 250 nits bright at max, average 230.
So much ado about nothing really.
And before any Sammy fanboy decide to argue with me go and read the review of the 1600x900 "300 nit matte super duper screen" on notebookcheck.

3612QM is a 35W TDP CPU whereas 3610QM is 45W TDP. So the latter generates more heat while performing better. But you really won't use either CPU to its max potential considering the 3612QM is faster than even 2820QM which was found in machines costing 1 lac + last year. And there is no significant difference in performance between the two CPUs unless you are a super hardcore gamer or use some really CPU intensive applications and multi task like a maniac. 99% of the time you will notice zero difference between the two CPUs.

oh..ok..i knew about the tdp thing ..
i wonder why an i5 comes with 2.5ghz b4 turbo boost and i7 with 2.1 ghz b4 turbo boost..
also my 5 yrs old previous SONY core 2 duo laptop which i sold couple of days back had 2.4 ghz proc speed..
so kind of makes me skeptical that 2.1 ghz is pretty less for an i7..
