Hi guys
I am getting a new laptop. I considered Dell but I have observed it get's too heated up to be useful. I would be studying at a B-School for next 2 years, so would need some portability.
I would consider any laptop if it appeals me. Budget is not really a problem. I would like to keep it under 1 lakh though. I initially thought of the new Macbook pro but I would be using ubuntu all the time so that's a deal breaker.
I have zeroed in on these Vaio models. Please suggest which would be a better option.
Please suggest which would be a better option -
*www.sony.co.in/product/Compar...dels=VPCCW26FG
VPCEB16FG - E Series
Intel® Core™ i3-330M processor 2.13 GHz *1
Display - 15.5 (39.37 cm) wide (Full-HD: 1920 x 1080) TFT colour display (VAIO Display Plus, LED Backlight)
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM
eSATA / USB port x 1
Wireless LAN Frequency-2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n)
2.7 kg (including the supplied battery)
VPCCW26FG - CW Series
Intel® Core™ i5-520M Processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.93 GHz*1
Display - 14 (35.6 cm) wide (WXGA++: 1600 x 900) TFT colour display (VAIO Display, LED Backlight)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU with CUDA™ Technology 512 MB GDDR3 SDRAM
No eSATA port
Wireless LAN Frequency - 5 GHz (802.11a/n), 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n)
2.4 kg (including the supplied battery)
I was thinking of getting CW cuz of better processor, faster wifi and better battery backup but battery drain complains and higher resolution on E series one have me confused.
Please suggest what would be a better machine of the two models listed.
P.S. - CW one is about 170$ more expensive than E series one.
Any other suggestions are also welcome. My needs-
15 inch good performance lappy. Would be mainly used for studying, spreadsheets, net surfing and movie watching. Occasionally (very rarely during holidays) for gaming like NFS shift and Counter Strike, WOW or DOTA maybe. Portability preferred.
