    Hi, I am trying to decide between purchasing a Vaio Z or SR with the following specs:

    Vaio Z:
    P9500 2.53 ghz
    3GB DDR3 RAM
    200GB 7200rpm hard drive
    NVIDIA GEforce 9300M GS and Intel GMA 4500M HD (hybrid Graphics GPU) w/ 256 mb vRAM

    Vaio SR:
    T9600 2.80 Ghz
    4GB DDR2 RAM
    320GB 720rpm hard drive
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 w/ 256mb vRAM

    To anyone who has used/has either one of these laptops, can you guys tell me what a gaming performance is like on them or what it would be like with my specs. What would be a really great bonus is if you could tell me what the laptop is like running Crysis, GRID, or DeadSpace. I heard someone day that the Vaio Z had graphic card issues on GTA IV. Also, is there anything I should watch out for in either laptop, I heard the Vaio Z has issues with the screen knocking the keyboard or something, but if you know of any problems or things you really like about either laptop please let me know.

    Thanks Guys
