I understand that config wise DELL is much better. My biggest concern is mobility if I choose DELL. 15.6" has to be huge!!. There are hardly any reviews on the new STUDIO 1555 either. Also, the known issue of all recent models of Dell overheating is a concern.

I love the looks and the feel of Sony. It looks good enough for my purpose but I am not sure whether it is worth the money spent.

I won't be using the laptop for gaming but would be good if it can play fifa09 and Commandos kind of games. My main purpose is to use it for work and that includes photoshop.

I hope you guys can help me choose between the same.

Thanks

To confuse you further, look at the Studio 14 A friend picked one up recently. Its even cheaper.

+ 14" form factor means similar mobility to the sony as well.
