1080p/7.1-Capable Laptops?

[dadkins]

I am Sony biased, as in, I buy the biggest, baddest VAIO made at time of purchase.
ATM, the VGN-AR690U is the Sony Flagship - NOT CHEAP!

Doesn't matter, what is new today is obsolete in ~6 months. *ANY* brand!

...I wouldn't say it becomes obsolete...I mean, if that were the case why bother getting anything at any given time?


So, I assume then you prefer PCs instead of Macs, correct?

I'll second the Sonys, I'm using their top-of-the-line model from a few years ago right now. It's been on 24/7 for years and has never had any issues at all. After my experience with Sony laptops I'd have a tough time going with any other brand.

Do the newest Sony notebooks offer 7.1 sound?

Uhm... considering that several PCs have Blu-ray drives from the factory(AR190G was the first BD laptop BTW)... yeah! I guess you could say I prefer PCs over Macs.

Obsolete... yeah they do! Laptops especially! Always something newer and badder being released, ya know?

Get the biggest and baddest machine at this point in time, and in 6 months there is something that will eat it alive.

I'm right there with ya. I got the AR-590 a few months ago when it was the biggest and baddest. Now it's already getting to be "outdated"

I'm not biased to Sony, though. At the time it was cheaper than what Dell had to offer in a BD laptop.

Sony is the best Multimedia laptop on the market right now? That's news to me

Maybe if gaming isn't part of Multimedia... Gaming is a big issue for me, and the Alienware slaps the Sony in the mouth in terms of 3d Graphics and Power. Not to mention RAID0 HDD's and SLI GPU's.
