Vaio NR38 suitable for a 1st timer?

[AdidasAddict]

I am looking at this Sony laptop http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5080702.htm

 

I have no experience at all with OS X86 as have always bought apples own products, but I need a notebook and currently cannot afford a macbook. My main computer is a 2.4 alu iMac. Does the sony above seem like a good place to start? Won't be used for anything too intensive, just wi-fi browsing, photo editing and watching movies.

 

Thanks for any advice, I did try searching for this model but cannot find anything about it on here.
