I wrote off buying anything Sony years ago and will never buy anything with
their name on it ever again.

Sony must have improved their support over the past few years. The last
time I had a Vaio in a work environment was about 6 years ago, and when
something broke on it, it was an all day thing trying to get into a live
support person for help. Back then, the Vaio just wasn't a work
PC...fine for home use, but not for office use. Always good news when a
company fixes issues, though.

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.

Yeah I'm not a big Sony fan.. Their laptops seem to under perform for

nice...and light..

Sony has a few nice looking systems, but I still can't forgive them
for the DVD Rootkit fiasco(s) a few years ago. I promised myself I'd
avoid buying anything SONY after they refused to apologize and accept
responsibility for their negligent actions
+1 here. 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.
