dell studio15 or sony vaio fw43 ?

skremble — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:32:10 +0800

4 year old toshiba m30 blacked out literally, but i can still see the windows on my screen. just very damn dark. fixing the screen will cost me 900sing dollars, which is stupid.

should i get a dell studio15 or sony vaio fw43 ?

a) Dell studio15 @ rm3432

b) sony vaio fw43 @ rm3599 (similar to fw33, just some minor upgrade and its available in black, which is why i waited. but i dont know whether its released yet.)
LINK: http://corp.sony.com.my/vaio/vaio_fw43.html

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10 GHz/ 800 mhz /2Mb cache)

specs wise, dell obviously trumps all. but im a but concerned with the built quality, the dell one's kinda plasticky feel, looks flimsy. sony's one rather solid and obviously prettier.

will the sony one be more durable than the dell?

will the performances difference be very huge?

is there a huge difference between LCD and LED display?

3gb of ram is enough right?

32bit or 64bit vista? (can only choose for dell though i think)

oh, and i wish to play a bit of left4dead with it. is the sony one possible? not on top configurations la, just medium ones. other than that, just casual work with computer and movies.

and i dont think i can stretch my budget any further.

thank you for the advices!

which one should i go for? samsung i600 or htc touch?

does htc touch's message input suck? reviews say the on screen keyboard is small. or its a fact that most on screen keyboards are small? i once used the motorola e680, the onscreen keyboard really tortured me when i wanna type sms.
