    Both of those laptops seem perfect for what you'd be using it for from what i can see. Upgrading to a core i5 might be helpful but i'm not sure if it would be necessary. Out of those two i'd pick the samsung unless blu rays important to you. Out of interest where did you come across that samsung because that seems like a great price?

    That sony seems over priced to me, i'd be expecting an i5 for that money. Do you know what the specs of those graphics cards are?

    I had considered a samsung or sony vaio but a lot of the reviews say both screens are very disappointing. What size screens are these? I have seen the sony vaio i5 for cheaper than the i3 you have there with everything else the same. I will try and find the link for you.
