Sony Vaio: advice would be appreciated

sirhobo

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

The i3 sony from bestbuy would definitely the one id purchase
Have owned plenty of Sony laptops and they have never let me down
The price BestBuy are selling that laptop for is a steal so go for it you will not be disappointed

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

There are many cheaper better spec machines from a.n.other manufacturers, but Sony rocks for me.
