I'm buying a new laptop and I would like peoples' opinions.
Option one: Sony Vaio 15.5" Touch-screen - £749.99
Intel Core i5 1.8 GHz, 8GB of RAM, Nvidia Geforce graphics card, DVD-RW drive
Option Two: HP Envy 17" - £899.99
Intel Core i7 2.4 GHz, 12GB of RAM, Nvidia Geforce graphics card with 2GB graphic card memory, no DVD drive and it's not touch-screen.
Both come with 1TB HDD and a similar number of USB ports.
So although the HP is the more powerful machine and has a bigger screen, the Sony is touch-screen and has an optical drive (DVD).
Is touch-screen all that, is the i7 CPU that much better than the i5 and will the extra graphics card memory make that much difference?
Your opinions would be much appreciated...
