I'm after a bit of help if possible, as I have about £800 to spand on a new laptop after mine bit the dust, & I'm stuck between 2 models.
Sony Vaio FW31E
HP DV7-2070
Yes I know that PC world isn't the best place to go, but it's an insurance job & I am tied to them or Currys (in other words the same company)
The Vaio is £699 & the HP is £899 so there's obviously a lean towards the Vaio in that respect, But the HP has a slightly larger screen, twice the grapics memory & a faster processor, which explains the price hike.
What I also like about the HP is that it has a spare drive bay so I can expand the storage fairly easily.
However, the thing that's potentially putting me off is that the HP has some fairly terrible reviews for the display quality, & considering that it's probably the single most important thing in a laptop, it's the only stumbling block.
just wondered if anyone can poke me in either direction or has any experience of either machine?
many thanks!!
