fat controller

Looks like my laptop is about to bite the dust - running very hot at times, bits of the casing are fractured (cracked but still hanging on for now), optical drive hasn't worked in a couple of years and over the last week or so, the wifi has started to work only intermittently. I suspect that the wifi fault is a hardware issue, as the illuminating 'Satellite' logo on the front edge of the machine also goes on and off.
Now, I am not complaining, as this laptop has to be at least four of five years old, which I suspect is pretty ancient in laptop world), and has been used pretty much daily a bit like a Mars bar (work, rest & play :biglaugh:)
So, I am considering a new one. Me being me, started off looking at the £500-£600 range, and have gradually worked up, and am now looking at:
Sony Vaio VPCF23N1E (http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-f-series/vpcf23n1e)
or the VPCF23p1E (http://www.sony.co.uk/product/vn-f-series/vpcf23p1e)
I must admit that I have taken a bit of a shine to the P1, simply because it seems to be so well specified that I am unlikely to want or need anything more for another five years?
Any opinions gratefully received.
