Opinions on Vaio SA

[Gloryfieldzi]

I'm in med school and need a notebook for streaming video lectures and lots of web browsing (question banks online) and reading ebooks. Occassionally play some games if I get bored (LoL, dota 2), and I wanted it to be small, thin, light, quiet, and not too hot.

So far I have only found the Vaio SA to fit. Vaio Z is way too expensive, and things like MBP 15" are too big/heavy, while the MBA doesn't seem powerful enough.

So are there any alternatives before I pull the trigger on the SA? I can wait until November, but obviously the sooner the better, so unless if there's some new release soon, I'm not going to be able to wait for it.

the only problem might be the screen res, but it's expensive to get portable notebooks w/ high res screens

LoL and Dota 2 aren't super awesome roxxor Crysis level games
Dota 2 is likely to use source engine, so i'd expect it to be similar to Alien Swarm/ L4D2 requirements
the intel HD 3000 should be able to run those games on low settings

you could try the alienware m14x if you want a gaming notebook
