    Hi there, I am considering buying a Vaio but I want to know some things about them first.

    I am considering, vaio Y, vaio E and vaio S

    Vaio E : 15'', i5-520M, BR, 4GB Ram, Full HD, ATI HD 5650 1GB
    860€

    Vaio S : 13,3'', i5-520M, DVD, 4GB Ram, 1366x768, Nvidia n310 512
    1020€

    Vaio Y : 13,3'', i5-430UM, no-DVD, 4GB Ram, 1366x768, ATI AMD m93
    948€

    My questions:
    How powerful is the ATI m93? I've never heard of it.
    How long does their battery endure?
    How is Sony build quality? I am really peaky with quality
    How is the screen quality?
    Any way of getting student discount from Sony?

    Thank you!
