Sony VAIO or Macbook Pro?
I need to buy a laptop for school and I've narrowed it down to two: the Sony VAIO series and the Macbook Pro series. I'd love to hear the pros and cons of both, if possible. Also, in your opinion, which is the better choice? Please give as much information as you can, because I want to make a very informed decision.

Sony VAIO. If does not look as stylish as the Macbook Pro, but it's faster and you will get much more done in less time at lower price.
If you want to look stylish to your mates, then the Macbook Pro would work, but if you want to show real work done, get the Sony VAIO.
Sony VAIO
Pros - Windows 7 with thousands of applications, more speed and performance at less price.
Cons - Little heavier, no Line-In and bad web camera.
Macbook Pro
Pros - More stylish, more portable, less heavy.
Cons - MacOS with much less applications than Windows 7, less speed and performance and higher price.
I've had a Macbook and I have a Sony Vaio now. I love the Sony far more than the Mac. Don't be fooled via the Mac identify... the Vaio is way larger. It's quicker and does not take a rattling rocket scientist to function just like the Mac does.
Sony VAIO: It's Windows, and that's the most important thing you should consider when buying a laptop for school projects or homeworks. Most of the applications you may need, Mac doesn't support them.
MacBooks and Apple products in general are really expensive if you only need a laptop to work on your school projects. So I would recommend Sony :)
I'm a Microsoft guy and I would recommend getting the Macbook Pro. You say it's for school, right? Get the Macbook Pro.
