    Did I make right decision of buying F116FG?

    A few days ago I went to Sony store to get a new laptop. I initially wanted to purchase EA37FH. Then I noticed that they have had previous Vaio models on sale and F116FG is priced as same as EA37FH.

    Here is the specifications of both laptops: Product Comparison : VAIO Notebook : Sony Asia Pacific

    I mainly use my laptop for online study and watching movies. So I went with F116FG which has larger screen size and, imho, better looking body.

    I still have a few more days to return this laptop. Do you think I got a good deal or should I go back to store and exchange for EA37FH instead?

    What are the prices for both laptops?

    I would stay with the F if the size and weight doesn't bother you.

    Both laptops are priced at 44,900 THB (~1,485 USD). F series has always priced 69,900 THB (~2,312 USD) at minimum.

    I hardly move my laptop around, so I'm fine with its size and weight.

    Imo I like the F series better because I play higher-end (well not that high, around WoW mostly xD) games and its graphics card does well in playing them (of course nothing compared to the Alienware but good enough for me, considering it was well under $2,000 at the time).
