Well i've been looking into buying a new computer for awhile and I think the brand i'm gonna go with is sony vaio but still I would like to know if anyone has any negative comments about sony vaio's its always good to have lots of opinions things i'm about to spend a good bit of money on so. If you have had a negative experiance with a sony vaio or just heard negative things about them please let me know.

Never even heard of them, so that might be good or bad. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I own one, and they are great! Had it 2 years now, and Its a 1.9Ghz, 15 inch screen, CDR/DVD player 500Mb Ram and a 40Gb HD.. With USB 2.0, firewire, modem and network card.

It's awesome enough to run my NWN server off of, and its been running sometimes for days--now I run it on my Alienware...

Anyway, Sony makes a killer laptop. So does IBM--Thinkpads are awesome, but cost WAY much more for the same thing.

Thanks for the insight Ziroc [img]graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

How much do they go for, anyway? I'm a entrance-level college student who needs one before school starts this fall...

On ebay you can get a tower using the buy it now option for like $600 usally for pentium 4 2.8ghz 512mb ram and 160hd with 800mhz bus speed and in stores like circut city there like double what you would pay on ebay. So you might wanna shop there i'm probobly gonna get mine of ebay.

It depends on the model, but most Vaio notebooks are very expensive for what they are.

You're paying for the "Sony" name.

IMO, Apple make the best laptops. [img]smile.gif[/img]

My sister has one, and she loves it. She's got a small compact one, it's a 14" screen and it's about 1 inch thick, if that. Keyboard's a bit small, but packs a lot of power. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I dunno...everything TEchTV has taught me has pointed me toward agreeing with Gokuzool on this one...plus I'm not gonna have super funds to waste on aesthetics...but battery-life, software, and sys. specs...he he he...

I guess it all depends on whether you want a Mac or a PC. [img]smile.gif[/img]
