Hi all,
I'm about 1-2 years behind the times with the new processors etc so would really appreciate some advice about which of these two Sony Vaios is better value for money and which will perform better for everyday tasks and handling things like video streaming, photo/video editing:
the EB3J at Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.co.uk/product/1000141511/Sony-VAIO-EB-Series-15.5%20inch-Laptop---Intel-Core-i3,-320GB,-4GB-Memory.aspx?ref=google&loc=Laptops&ci_src=18615224&ci_sku=1000141511
or
the EB3F at Currys: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/sony-vaio-vpceb3f4e-wi-white-laptop-07580264-pdt.html
Or are there better laptops (brand is unimportant) with 4gb RAM, at least 320 gb HD, and reasonably fast processors for a similar price? Dedicated graphics are not a requirement
thanks a lot in advance - I'm doing this research for my cousin who is going to university soon

I bought one of those from Cosco for £399 and I am very pleased with it.
