Thanks for the input so far guys. Appreciated. I see in todays Future shop flyer the Sony is a $100 off, so $1199. But still, for a $100 less the Mac Book or a $100 more for the Pro. Not sure what the pro advantage is besides the back lit keys and the casing?

Well back lit keys would be nice but it also has the aluminum body and card reader, I don't think it has much else.

Personally I would recommend a Toshiba for PC, I have had 2 HP's, but had nothing but problems with the mouse pad. I can't comment on Sony as I have never had one, but would say stick to companies that specialize in computer design and manufacturing. Sony, IMO, isn't one of them.

Here is a Toshiba of the same price:

Toshiba was my first preference when I first started looking actually but heard some stories about failures??

The one I liked was one step down from that one with the i3 but still 4m ram and 500 harddrive which is more than enough for me, plus I believe it has a 16in. screen and cheaper @ $799
