Fwiw, I have had virtually every brand of laptop -- Acer, IBM Thinkpad, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, etc. I have a Vaio at home and it's really quite a good machine, and the support was really incredible.
I would recommend them without question. Oh, on the subject of light, I bought a Dell Mini 9 recently. Not recommended. Unusable keyboard, and a dinky feel to it.

I had a client whose home Sony VAIO desktop got infected, and +Sony would not provide restore media at ANY price. They also did not have any downloadable drivers for his hardware, so the machine ended up on the scrap heap because of the lack of support from Sony. I can still download drivers for my ancient IBM laptops from Lenovo's site, they get my vote for any laptop recommendation. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
