How's this laptop?

My current laptop is getting a little old and has trouble running long term fm saves, it's grand first season but gets worse a couple of seasons in. So I'm in the market for a new laptop, not one that's just good enough for fm, one that will do me when I hopefully go to college in a couple of years.

I was looking at this one http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/Sony_VAIO_EC3S0E-WI_Core_i5_Laptop_in_White_VPCEC3S0EWI/version.asp

What do you guys think? I was also considering a mac, I've never used a mac before, are they easy to get use to and will fm run the same, is there many disadvantages? Thanks in advance.

Fellow Sony Vaio guy! Nice!

Processor is ****ing nice (But they dont tell which i5 it is. You should probably find out which it is, as it could be a sucky low watt one.. Which can't do anything)

The graphic card is nice enough to play new games "okay"on medium

And the 6 gigs of ram is just nice..

So yeah you would be fine..

+ Sony Vaio rocks! I have an EB1S1E1 myself

Here's a better look at the laptop http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/Sony_VAIO_EC3S0E-WI_Core_i5_Laptop_in_White_VPCEC3S0EWI/version.asp

I'm not a complete idiot with computers, it's just I don't trust my own judgment.

Go with the Sony Vaio! I tell you it's the best decision i've ever made in my whole life.. + It's a change from Mac.. Which everybody are getting...

ASUS G73 .... pure wood

That looks a great laptop, hard to get locally though and there pretty dear.
