-Berserker- Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Actually, being bigger and heavier is not that bad. The Sony seems as a better choice in my opinion, but you always have the last word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Heavier / Larger isn't too big of a deal. But an important question is how shorter the Battery life is.I'd go with Sony CS, but the choice is yours buddy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/성成현賢/.led Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Sony is always smexy... But I <3 the larger hard drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Do you really need a blu-ray player? :/Putting blu-ray on a screen the size of a laptop's kind of defeats the purpose, imo.Meh. Brands are brands. Who cares, as long as it works? I'd go with HP because it's cheaper...unless your uncle can get you discounted stuff for your laptop.

OMGAKITTY Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 $20 dollars difference? Meh. I'd still probably go for the HP. You have more relevant pros for it (smaller/lighter, larger HD, longer battery life). The majority of stuff you have for Sony is kind of extra (design choices, looking good...blu-ray) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/성成현賢/.led Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 BUT THE KEYBOARD LOOKS LIKE A MAC!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Blu-Ray isn't meant for computers; if you're going to use it as a play while you're traveling, you're better off not. The drive reading the disk will probably just drain the battery faster. Bloatware you can just take off later; if you can save the money, an extra half hour to set up your computer isn't much. The casing doesn't bother me much; you can always do your own customization to it. Or you can just get a Mac and put Windows on it; proprietary hardware means an optimized system with greater reliability. VirtualBox is free, too, you know, so you don't have to spend money on an emulator; I use it and it's wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OS X is an entirely different operating system, why shouldn't it use different keys? Hell, Command + [key] makes more sense than Control + [key] ever will.

Unless you play with your laptop or something to the point that it breaks. Also a lot of parts are connected to the motherboard like processors, video cards those don't breakdown. You can replace the harddrive or the fan if they break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of stuff you have for Sony is kind of extra (design choices, looking good...blu-ray)[/quote'] 100% true, and that's the choice you should make. You can easily disable the HP programs that come with your laptop. It only takes five seconds. Brand recognition means nothing. ASUS is one of the best laptop brands, but nobody really knows about them, and their laptops look terrible. THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN SCHOOL/GRAPHICS AND BLU-RAY. WTF? You don't need to worry about a processor speed if you're just doing those two things. Who cares about the look of a laptop? As long as it's alright, it's fine. You can always just skin it yourself with stuff you buy off eBay or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
