    Link to Sony does not work.

    How would we know which has better viewing angles unless we own both and compare? Have you found a review comparing your Sony and the G73's viewing angles? It's a dumb question if you ask me.

    All you can do is read whether the viewing angle is good or bad on both and take the review for what they are.

    Link works for me.

    I'd say the Asus would be better bang for buck laptop. It will obliterate the Sony in most games, carries a beefier warranty and has a more generous hard drive capacity.
    However, keep in mind that the Asus G73 will likely have a lower battery life and is much bulkier than the Sony.

    Vaio F has a pretty nice screen. But yeah, mediocre GPU and the lack of a second hard drive bay for that size and price is kind of weak sauce.
