Advice for new laptop
Hi Everyone,

I am deciding on what laptop to get next as my current laptop is starting to get a tad sluggish. At the moment I have a Sony Vaio VGN-A517B. Im into power and im into Sony. I have narrowed it down to two:

http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProd...y=VN+AR+Series

http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProd...y=VN+FW+Series

I will mainly be using it for power intensive stuff - playing games, multimedia etc...

I can see that the FW11ZU has a slightly better processer but is weaker on the graphics. Is this significant, also which of the two graphics cards is the better?

Thanks for your help!

JD
