Sony VAIO CW Series or MacBook Pro?? (1 Viewer)

[Stephie-Rae]

Hi All,

I'm just picking out a new laptop for uni and have narrowed my selection down to the Sony VAIO CW Series or the MacBook Pro.

I really can't decide and was just looking for any opinions, pros/cons on these two laptops.

Thanks.

Depends if you want something that is shiny and can't do anything or a computer.

Don't buy a mac dude.. Out of those two get the Sony, how much are you spending??? and go for Windows 7... Its great!

The Macbook would be too expensive for what you are actually getting...I mean, if you just went with the basic model, which costs nearly the same as the sony, but has worse specs, obviously that would not go well.

BTW, for office/OS, don't forget that windows has a 70 dollar office suite for all uni students...you just have to apply online.

I have had two Sony Vaio's and I've loved them. I think the macs are over priced for their specs. Also if you're not familiar with macs thats something to consider, and the types of programs you intend to run.

If you're doing anything media related (eg video/audio editing) then definitely a mac..if not then I probably wouldn't bother

Neither. They are such a rip off.
Get an ASUS/Toshiba/MSI..

Defs get the Macbook Pro. But wait till Apple announces their new products on the 27th. See if there's a Macbook update.
