    hi there,

    I am in the process of a Laptop for myself.... And I am confused between these 3

    Dell Studio 15
    Benefit of this is...
    • Pricing
    • It has got Designer Covers, by Mike Ming.

    Dell Studio XPS 16
    Benefit of this is...
    • Graphic Card
    • Leather Finish
    • Upgradebility

    Sony Vaio FW
    Benefit of this is...
    • Good Screen
    • Good Service by Sony
    • Good Looks
    • Config is ok.


    Now I am confused between these 3..... I am kinda more interested in the Studio XPS 16, because of its good config. But Studio 15 has got good looks.

    Can any one using Dell or Sony here, suggest the better choice.

    Thanks

    If you really have some money to spend then the obvious choice will be Sony VAIO.

    I am getting lots of replies saying go for Sony Vaio...
    But when I compared the config. of Sony Vaio FW Series and Dell Studio XPS 16.. the Dell scores more... its got 512 graphic card as compared to 128 mb in Sony... also there is difference in RAM and HDD... :) Adding to my confusion....

    Why won't you go for Toshiba? Toshiba is more durable and it is guaranteed that your laptop will stay with you in the next ten years. Just upgrade the OS and softwares, of course.

    actually there's nothing wrong with the 2 brands... I like them both.. You can take any of them as long as it have a great specification.. that's the main issue actually

    hi: best prices/bang for the buck would be from pendletoncomputers in West Virginia. Slow money area, biggest discounts. I just purchased 4 units, XP's
    Auto
    http://www.pendletoncomputers.com

    By the way, I do not work for Dell or Pendleton computers in West Virginia. Dell superstores made the suggestion. Yes, excellent prices.
    Thx, Dan

    Sony VAIO is awesome and XPS both are awesome. Personally I'd prefer DELL XPS. Do not go for Dell studio unless your budget is low. If you are from India then do not order online. Call them at their Toll free number and you can negotiate for discounts. Believe me you can really negotiate and you'll definitly get some discounts. My friend did the negotiation and he got a really good discount.

    I like the new Dell XPS, you can pick up vinyl stickers that give the same effect as the designer themes on the Studio range. I really don't know if I will go with the Dell or a Macbook.

    Yes DELL have a better configuration then VAIO..
    I am using VAIO from last 2 years.. Its Awsome...
    You can go for DELL but remember dell have a very wrost sound quality then SONY Vaio.

    so if you are considering the sound also then no comparison of Vaio.....
