Hi. I was considering getting this laptop to replace my current Aspire 5755g:
http://www.sony.com.my/product/svs13a36pg
Its specs include: i7 3540, Nvidia gt640m le, 256gb ssd, 1.61 kg, 7 hours of battery life
However, I have a few questions and worries, which I was hoping you guys could help me out with, before I make the purchase:
1) Is Sony planning on refreshing the vaio lineup any time soon? Should I wait a few months for the prices to drop or for a newer model to be released?
2) Are Sony vaio laptops durable and lasting? I don't want to be spending 5799 on a laptop that can't last at least 3 years
3) Is the gt 640m le at least as good as a gt 540m, which is my current graphics card?
4) Are there any alternatives I should consider that might be cheaper? I want a dedicated graphics card, <1.8kg weight, long battery life and ssd memory. Also, a 13 inch screen is preferable. I can't seem to find any others that fit these criteria. Most 13 inchers lack dedicated graphics while others have poor battery life.
Finally, does anyone have this laptop? Because I can't find any reviews of it at all on the Internet. If you do, can you give me your opinions of it?
