It totally depends on the purpose you want to buy your laptop for. If all you want to do is view BluRay on your laptop the Sony might be the right choice.
For everything, else the MacBook Pro would be better Better LED screen (just a little less resolution on the 15" model), lighter, much better battery life (4 times) and it's a pleasure to use every day. For the first few months you'll be happy learning how it does stuff better than a windows laptop.
It'll take a week to get accustomed to MacOS coming from windows but after that it'd be a charm. And you can run windows on a macbook pro anyway. Although I won't recommend anyone to do so unless he really needs it.

Thanx Setu,

But I need some more help.

For movies that I shoot on my SOny CX 100, on HD mode, AVCHD is best, and then Blue Ray is recommended for best viewing/playing.

Now FW 13 gives me these, will I feel the deficiet if I buy Apple MacBook Pro?

How difficlut is it to use MAC inplace of Windows?

Thanx once again for ur guidance.

Dr Rajiv Dang.

This may have changed since this article was written, but Sony lists two different native display resolution options for the FW:

16.4" Screen

1600 x 900 or 1920 x 1080 Resolution

XBRITE-ECO™ or XBRITE-FullHD™ Technology

It would definately be misleading to label the 1600×900 model FullHD…
