Vaio CS for college?

<p>Ive looked into the vaio cs series for college. Reason is I know Sony is good quality, where many low-budget laptops (those 700$ ones, e.g. Toshiba) tend to be "plastic'ish" and have heat issues, and in general wont last very long.</p>

<p>Spec I found for PC:
T6400 2GHz
4GB Ram
320GB @ 5400RPM
Its a 14.1 inch monitor packed with a 9300M GS GPU (battery killer?), and battery-time is rather low (depending on settings, could be 2-4 hours).</p>

<p>The price doesnt matter to me, but its redicolously overpriced in my country. I just wanted to hear if you guys think this is a great deal?.. or is there cheaper options out there (my countries price in US dollars for laptop: ~1700dollars)</p>

<p>Im looking for quality, light, least 14inch monitor.</p>
