apart from the regular work, i will be using my laptop for advanced audio production.
I would prefer to go for better features without sacrificing on reliability. All the above laptops are going to be available at one of the sales event next week.

Please help me decide.

Hello,

Core 2 Duo has a much larger advantage over Dual Core processors..

i will be using my laptop for advanced audio production.

I guess this gives the toshiba the edge due to having a much faster processor !!!!

Ok, so sony Vaio is NOT good coz its a DUAL CORE,

Toshiba lappy sucks, so u shud change ur decision on the brands...
-----------
imho : sony vaio lappys are excessively priced higher as compared to their rival counterparts say HP or DELL etc.. for the same /similar type of configs they offer...
----------

Cheers n e-peace...

thanks yall
well, the situation is, these are the only laptops which are on sale.
I understand that the VAIO laptop wont be the latest one. However, lowest priced (non toshiba) core 2 duo laptop is easily $200-$300 more than this one. is it really worth it?

Problems here are:
1. There are no repair markets. So, if a laptop goes bad, trashcan is the only way for it to go. My $700 Hp DV6736nr met the same fate. God I miss nehru place
2. This sale comes only once an year. The total number of laptop choices in all the stores are not more than 5-6.

Toshiba laptops don't 'suck' and they in fact, have among the best build qualities I've seen. They are expensive but components used are very good.
Of the 2, the Toshiba is more powerful.
However, both Sony and Toshiba are overpriced. Sony more so than Toshiba.
I would recommend you try for a Dell. It is better value for money and laptops are excellent, and they also have very good warranty options.
