Buying a new Laptop, Opinions?

[ZebraRampage]

I was looking at the Sony Vaio F-Seires, and it seems to be comparable. I just don't know what the wireless card is, and if there's bluetooth, when I customize. That link you sent me does make one think twice about getting an HP Laptop. I've been putting this purchase off for months now, comparing everything. I guess I haven't looked at some companies, but I always thought that HP was somewhat reliable. Do you think that the bigger companies tend to get more malfunctions because more people who don't know what they're doing with computers get them from the bigger companies? I really want to make this decision in the next few days because I'm tired of waiting.
