Thank you guys. Informative as usual. Price wise they are very similar. Asus has Blu-Ray, bigger screen and hard drive but battery life sucks. Sony smaller screen and hard and no Blu-Ray drive (I can add one for 100 I think) but better CPU and much better battery.
In the end I want one that's good quality and doesn't die after one year. @Dave u know the saying u can't be too slim or have too much memory :) I guess i will have to go with my instinct Thanks again Victor On Tue, Aug 3, 2010 at 6:11 PM, Gerald Guido <gerald.gu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Personally I would go with the ASUS Lappy if anything for the Blu-Ray drive > and the HDMI out.
