I did not know we were comparing laptops.
It was just a simple statement meant to indicate that the free xbox deal was not restricted that specific model.
True that they have different functions. Let's not compare the two since it wasn't offered in opposition to what was suggested in the OP.
If you want a bigger screen, a better CPU or a better GPU, you might make a different choice.
Other than portability, an SSD and looks, what makes the Sony a Porsche? The two models are more like a top end Mini and run of the mill SUV.
