    Ok guys i need your expert advise between these two options.
    I am planing on buying one of them just do not know which one to choose.

    F11:
    Sony VAIO VPC-F113FX/H
    1039 USD (6gb, a bit slower CPU, 5200 RPM)

    F12:
    Sony VAIO VPCF12YFX/B Laptop Computer - Intel Core i7-740QM 1.73GHz, 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, DVDRW, 16.4 Display, Windows 7 Home Premium, Black at TigerDirect.com
    1069 USD (4gb RAM, a bit faster CPU, 7200 rpm)

    I am not a big gamer. It will be a desktop replacement. Basicaly it come to what is better. A slightly faster CPU and HDD or 6gb versus 4gb.

    Later on I am planing to install additional SSD as boot drive.

    What do you think?

    Thank you.

    4gigs is enough for about anyone. Except if you're an heavy virtual machine / photoshop etc. user. And 2nd, the F12 is the newer version of the F11, so i would pick the F12 anyway >_<.
