Hey guys,

Looking to get a laptop since starting uni next week, needs to be good for running CS3 (photoshop etc) and general multimedia and some gaming since i have Call of duty 4.

Been researching the Sony Vaio VGN-FW11E (£699) for some bizarre reason it is £100 more here then on the official Sony site with same specs, what's that about?

Anyway this seems a great laptop for all my needs but i just wanted some opinions or if anyone has the FW series? It has the Radeon HD 3470 (256MB) never used ATI before so just wondering how that would cope in gaming to some degree, cod4 & css mostly.

Cheers.

I'd expect at least a Geforce 8600GT for that money, in fact from Rock you can get a 7950GTX equipped laptop for slightly more...

The Xtreme 770 is £900 from Rock, far too much for what i had in mind, plus it has less RAM which i really need for CS3 and doesn't look as good. I only plan on getting this for general use for now since in Jan i will be buying a 4870 X2 Quad system like the 'Ultima OC HD 4870 X2' system here at OcUK.

James - What have you tried it with, what games and applications also what would you rate it out of 10?

Was thinking of getting it myself. In the end the fact that I could get something better and cheaper from Dell outlet stole my custom.

You may be interested to know that it's £699 in PCWorld as well... could probably haggle or get a free carry case at least, plus you could walk away with it that day and always go back if you've any problems.

Well i was going to go into the Sony Centre since i have one here in town and get everything there, wouldn't mind paying a little extra.

What did you get from Dell? I'm really not too sure about dell with quality and hear bad things all the time.
