After viewing the hardware on each Mac and PC, I have come to the conclusion that I am able to get better internal hardware by buying a PC to replace my 3-year old Apple MacBook.
I also have come to the conclusion that I really enjoy the style and simplicity of the Sony VAIO. I was wondering if it contains what I need for what I will use it for. I would say this computer will be used for 45% Multimedia Editing (Adobe CS4, Photomatix), 35% Web Browsing (I use Mozilla Firefox for web, and Mozilla Thunderbird for e-mail), 10% Gaming (I have a PS3, so do not consider games like COD MW2, etc.), and 10% Music, iPod, CD/DVD/BR burning (I would burn BR's for full 1080p photography slideshows.)
Here is the stats for the Sony VAIO I want...
Sony VAIO F-Series F1190X CTO
Intel® Core™ i7-820QM processor (1.73GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz
Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
320GB Hard Disk Drive (7200rpm)
8GB (4GBx2) DDR3-SDRAM-1333
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU (1GB VRAM)
Blu-ray Discâ„¢ player/burner
16.4" VAIO Premium Display (1920x1080)
Keyboard Backlight
Will this work for the percentages I gave prior?
