Laptop for Student.

Hi everyone,

So starting college again this September and trying to decide between three laptops. Basically want one which is good for watching programmes, Microsoft office, long battery life and doesn't have a tendency to overheat. At the moment I am looking at these three:

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series 15.6' i5 processor, Memory 8 GB, Hard Drive: 1 TB e599

Sony Vaio 15.5' Intel® Pentium® 2117U processor, Windows 8, Memory: 4 GB Hard drive: 500 GB e479

Sony Vaio fit 15E 15.5' Intel® Core™ i5-4200U processor Windows 8.1 Memory: 4 GB
Hard drive: 500 GB...599e

Sorry can't post the links since I'm only new. I'm not exactly tech savvy so any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Eadaoin.

I would go for the i5/i3 processor instead of pentium tbh.

A guy in a computer repair show told me to stay away from the Sony Vaio's. I'd also go for an i3 or i5 processor depending on what ya need it for.
