lol cute thread... well it wasn't meant to be cute but the responses lol
well i have 2 vaio's, i loved the first one to death and literally lmfao... i broke every single thing u can imagine on that thing and it's still working properly, it's currently connected to my tv using video out because the screen's lamp on my notebook burnt out. so i just use it to watch lakorns from the internet onto my tv now, but i can still use it for other things like going to the net and every other thing but just needa view via tv screen rather than the laptop screen.
and as for my second one, i like it but not as much as my first because i didn't do such great research and my friend lied to me that he was gonna hook me up with major discounts and i needed one ASAP because of school so i bought it. so i bought the vgn-fs550, it's okay, but it doesn't have things like the first one i bought but i mean certain things u don't need anymore like floppy, parallel ports, but the one i want most is the video out function and this didn't have it, so it was err. but other than that, it's a good computer, nice looking and can be used for almost anything...
but seriously to save money, i'd rather go with a cheap dell or hp to come with the same specs because you don't get much with a sony, they have no manuals, no cds, no programs, and word/norton expires in like 6 months. u should rather save money and spend on a cheaper brand and get all those programs online! yeah illegal baby that's the way to go hahah unless u are anti-illegal software lol.
but if u like how it looks rather than the specs, man they have a pretty toshiba and sony out there but pricey... well that's my advice. hope that helps.
