The Acer wins in terms of processing power specs, but lacks out on a Bluray drive and Bluetooth. It has a sweet screen though.
Asus, from what I hear, probably has the best customer support out of all three. I don't like the 5400rpm drive though.
The Sony has HDMI, which is nice, but the screen is a lower resolution (so you'll those Bluray movies will have to scale). I also find that a lot of the Vaio's feel less sturdy than some laptops I've tried, which is backed up by this review (http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/216435/sony-vaio-vgnfw11zu.html) but it also says good things. Note, according to that review, you only get 2 and a bit hours worth of light work, with less than an hour of heavy load, so it might not match what you need.
I would go with either the Asus or the Acer. I've seen Acer's before and they feel cheap and plasticky to me. I have not used Asus' laptops before, but like Worm said, they are supposed to have very good customer support.

vaio is better than acer
I have both. Acer gets more warmer and is plastic like.

Think of it in these two terms though:
1) Specs. The Vaio has probably the weakest graphics of the entire group
2) Price. Despite being the weaker performer, the Vaio is at least 200 euros more than the next most expensive on his list.
I do agree that Acers feel cheap. From a price/performance stand point, I think the Asus wins.
I have owned a few Vaios, HPs in the past. Currently, I own a Vaio FZ and and an Asus M50 and I could very easily say that Asus is the best built and best quality notebook that I have ever owned. It is really an achievement for the company, with very humble beginings, to build products of such quality that easily surpass the industry leaders, by far!!!!
