Four years ago I got a crappy Asus laptop. It's a huge 17 inch brick with a bad screen, noisy fans and I'd like to ditch it. I'm after something that is good for multimedia, 15", quiet, has a 1080 screen, bluray drive, SSD, maybe a reasonable graphics card but if I ever played a game on it then it would be something like League Of Legends and it sounds like Haswell can do that. After looking around the only real contender I have found for that is Sony, with their new Vaoi Fit. It has the Nvidia 735M as a cheap upgrade option as well as an SSD and can play Blurays. IntelŽ CoreTM i5-3337U, 1.8GHz Windows 8 39.5cm LED 1920 x 1080 +webcam NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ GT 735M 2 GB 128 GB SATA Flash SSD 8 GB 1600 MT/s DDR3L-SDRAM Blu-ray Disc(TM) writer Have to wait and see what they do with Haswell but are there any contenders for these kind of specs without price tags over $1200? I've considered ditching the bluray and 1080 screen but then we are getting close to a point where I could just buy a $200 Nexus 7.

WHAT A GOOD DOG posted:I haven't found a Sony screen I liked because they all seem like flimsy LCD screens, even on their business-class models. Right, I wouldn't ever try to play an FPS on it. I use my current one for watching movies when I'm at home, when I'm away it's a replacement PC but any i5 has enough juice to do that. Phones and tablets are crap for that with the small screen and touch keyboards. The bluray drive could be a waste, I just have quite a few of them. Performance isn't a priority, I'm more concerned with a good screen and quietness.
