Hi, I am a college student (major in physics) and I'm looking for a moderately good laptop. What I'm looking for is something portable - 13,3" at most - but resistant and long lasting.
I am quite keen on the sturdy-thing preference, given my excruciating wandering obbligations during the day.
I'm a Debian user and I would use my notebook mostly for programming and running occasional symulations - not the really heavy ones, though.
I am definitely not looking for gaming performances.
Narrowing down some options I came to confronting:
- Sony VAIO S Series SVS1312P9E (or SVS1311A4ES as well) (http
/www.sony.co.uk/product/vaio-s-series/svs1312p9e I can't seem to find a decent spec sheet for the other, but they're very close both in specs and in price)
- Lenovo Edge 320 (http/www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/notebooks/lenovo/thinkpad_edge_e320_129834m/397569/specs)
I reckon Vaios are quite expensive when compared to the Lenovo products, but they also seemed more performing. Is the price-gap worth the improvement?
I must admit I have a slight preference for Lenovo products given the extra-strong-build reputation of its products. Does it apply for E-series as well?
What would you recommend?

figures? I only know one person who has ever had to get his Sony repaired was because he spilled rubbing alcohol on the keyboard. I know about twelve people who have had their Lenovos fixed because a.) they failed to boot up after purchase b.) the chassis cracked c.) it just quit working for no absolute reason. I myself used to have a Lenovo Thinkpad, and one day, the computer couldn't get past post. Never dropped it or touched the internal components.
