Sony uses an nvidia graphics processor, so buy the Dell.

Firstly, no. Neither company is 'the best', but nvidia's laptop GPUs don't last very long before they break. If you want a laptop that lasts a long time, you definitely don't want one with an nvidia.

Not completely sure this holds true on the mobile end, but desktop wise, nvidia cards cost more for similar performance from an ATI card. They draw more power, and therefor create more heat.

It's difficult to judge how pricey notebook GPUs are because you can only ever buy a complete system. Suffice to say though, that companies have been sued in the past due to how often laptops go wrong with geforce GPUs in them. I've seen it happen first hand a fair few times.
