Sony Vaio F, 16", Core i7-740QM , 4GB, 320GB, 1080p Premium, BluRay Burner - £789.00 @ Sony Shop
http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-f-series
I had posted a similar deal before, but the price was almost 1k. It now has gone down even more if you you configure it. there is also a free Bluray Burner until the 25th of April
It will take a couple of weeks to deliver, but you can configure it directly in the sony shop giving you a point of return if things didnt work out.
This is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a laptop to do some editing, design work or 3D this could be it. It has just gone down in price, since this used to be £1049.
The great thing about this laptop is the antiglare screen, and a bigger 16 inch screen for the HD resolution

I'd rather put the £750 towards downpayment on a cinema room and save my eyes.

it actually doesnt come with a bluray by default, but the upgrade is quite reasonable. Its only 30 quid.
But the reason you'd want an HD screen is because you need to produce HD content yourself. But yeah its not a machine for the average user..
Sorry about that, cant seem to change it anymore

Was waiting for the xps pack to take the bite ;).
This machine is miles better built than the xps line...

main difference is the screen res, this is full HD resoultion 1920 X 1080 antiglare as the insipiron is 1366 x 768 glossy..
Also this has an Nvidia gt 425 as the dell has an ATI. ill let you research which one is better!
I'm liking the look of the HP Envy series but might look into these a bit more as well.
Anybody got any other suggestions ?
Voted hot :).
what exactly do you need it for? any screen size?

Vaios are very durable. I have used mine for over 7 years now, despite very rugged use and rather rough handling.
