Laptop for watching hd video/surfing?

[namegame]

I'm looking for advice on to whether this laptop will cut the mustard when it comes to watching movies,you tube videos,and just general surfing or do you think i can do better price wise?I have a local best buy and staples and would like to go with them in case i need to return so i won't be faced with restocking fee's,etc.Thanks

I think you can get much better for $500. In general 1366 x 768 is really bad for general surfing as you need t scroll the web page to much. Also you can get an i5 for that money. I'd also get one with dedicated video.

Assuming you want a laptop not tablet

Would totally suffice for those things and have touchscreen Windows 8 semi-requires and 768p is less awful at that size.

You aren't going to get a 1080p display and an i5-level chip, in a package for under $500.

Maybe this would work. Dunno.

Don't forget, Sony does charge a "few" extra $$'s for that little sony logo on the cover...
You can find similar Acer or Lenovo for less:

900p vs 1080p is a pretty major difference.

However it's $150 over your budget.
