My only issue with Sony is that if you have to replace stuff out of warranty the parts get really expensive, enough so that it isnt even worth fixing them.
If you are going to do Photoshop and video editing you really need a machine with a decent amount of RAM and a fast(er) hard drive. I wouldnt recommend an inexpensive laptop for those specifications. Playing DVD's, Office programs and tuning are not hard things for a computer to do so almost any piece of crap will do. Doing any graphical editing will just take quite a bit more time to render and such with a low end laptop.
Can you give me a target for what is "a decent amount of RAM" and a "faster hard drive"? I don't know **** about computers so some numbers of what to look for would really help me out. Thanks.
