Hi all
I am looking for a laptop as a second PC, something I can use for work if need be. I am a designer/visualiser so use a lot of 2d and 3d software so will need something capable of handling this. I believe I have narrowed my selection down to 3 possibles:
Sony VAIO FZ - http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/SONB0190
Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 - http://www.pcwb.com/catalogue/item/A0226123
Dell XPS M1330 - http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1330?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs
On specification and price I am leaning towards the Toshiba, but I'm not too sure how good their laptops are?? The dell appeals on portability and the Sony on looks and spec, though both are limited by having the 8400M graphics cards which may not be powerful enough. Any thoughts?
My budget is £1000, I don't really want to go over this. If anybody has any other suggestions I would like to hear them.
Thanks in advance.
