Re: Sony Vaio Laptops?
From what you describe you plan on doing with it the Vaio will be more than adequate. Sony also includes good software with their Vaio's and they're a very durable laptop. You could also add some more memory if the shared memory is concerning you. My sister has a Vaio that is about 4 years old (733mhz running windows 98) that she has never had a problem with. The battery life on hers is about 1 1/2 hours but Sony has more than likely improved on this in the past 4 years.
As a side note I'll tell you I'm replying to this thread on my laptop a Toshiba Satellite (1.6 ghz, 512mb ram, 30 gig hd, dvd-cdrw combo drive) that I bought a year and a half ago. To be honest I could have done better overall with a Vaio for the same amount of money. The Toshiba has been a great computer so far but I didn't get any software besides Lotus (which I never use). There's two personal reasons I went with the Satellite, it's all we use at work and I felt better typing on it with it's larger keyboard compared to others I tried out at Best Buy.
