….Because, for a start, it looks and sounds great. If I’m going to get a new laptop I don’t want to use it purely for work, I want it for movies and games as well. The Vaio has one of the sharpest pictures and crispest sounds available, and this was a leading factor for me.

Then there is also the factor of reliability. Sony guarantees reliability, and judging by the number of issues I encountered with my previous laptop, and the fact that I am borderline computer illiterate, I wanted something reliable and that would be easy to use.

Since purchasing the laptop I have encountered only one problem with it in eighteen months, and this was that it would not load up Windows. I gave it to a friend who determined that it was a hardware problem, rebooted Windows XP for me, and now it runs perfectly. Other than this small issue I have found the laptop very easy to use, with exceptional picture and sound quality, and a system that runs very fast. I would recommend this model to anyone thinking of buying a new laptop.
