And as a bonus it has a backlit keyboard as well as a dedicated gpu.

^^ that's easy 400 GBP budget there!
shop around for a better deal, 750$ is a lot to blow on a non-modular item!
a friend has a viao and i'm not too impressed with it's connectivity and specs!
sure it has hi-def and a large screen but he paid 300 GBP for his and the regret is seeping in, just like the time he blew half a K on an apple and the customer service is SO shit, he split it in two and cut his losses!
the toshiba laptops aren't too bad but for that kind of spunk money, i'd try for two (maybe three) pre-owned laptops! (serviced by qualified personnel naturally)
................
NAY! 750$ is too frivolous for a piece of tech that's notorious for breakdowns/difficult to maintain! you could do better, maybe have what you want and more, shop around!

that's my bit, you asked for honesty, you got it! _________________________________________________________ to all my friends... farewell and all the best to future prosperity... and remember, be excellent to each other!

That's one slow hard drive, the whole thing will be slow because of it. I won't touch drives with 5400 RPM, never! Why go for a Sony, there must be some better deals out there for that kind of money.
I suggest you do some more laptop hunting, you know, at least a few more hours or more of it. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
Those really are my only choices and I wanted one with bluetooth enabled, I didn't see any of the satellites, the hdd could always be replaced so t hats no biggie.
I'm not too sure how wel gefore 640m or 730m runs I looked at benching and was pretty impressed with 7670.
might be an easy fix and you could do something else with the money.
if the led flashes there is still hope.

Well, you could always upgrade the hard drive down the road too, otherwise the laptops you are looking are nice for the money. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!

The Aspire V3-571G-6622 Notebook is about the same thing except smaller screen, less ram and smaller hard drive _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
