Sony Vaio
Hey i just bought myself an entry level Sony Vaio, with a Intel Core Due 2 "inside"! Is there anyone else using a Vaio, and if so is there anything i should know?

My step farther has a Sony Vaio, I personally like it more than the other laptops other than a Apple Mac. His has the Finger Print software built in so that then when before logging you need to have his finger print to log in its really good and secured.

I have an older Vaio that I got from a guy I used to work with for about $200, not a bad deal at all. It's a real business machine. Sexy too!

Well you should have gone with one of the new Intel Core 2010 series instead of C2D. Even a basic Core i3 beats the best C2D in my test.

I've had one for nearly 4 years this December. Not had to replace anything internally (only battery, but that is to be expected so rule this out), only the charger had to be replaced after 2 years (which is awesome if you ask me!).

I bought my brother a Vaio laptop a couple of years ago - great laptop. The battery life is a bit short (common issue on vaio's - they seem to use smaller than average batteries in many of their laptops) and his left mouse button on the touchpad has stopped working (another friend had the same issue). Overall, they look a bit nicer and I wouldn't say they are anymore prone to fail than other makes or models.
You may however want to consider removing some of the pre-installed software - while some of it is useful, most of it isn't on the models I've seen. There are several forums and guides online that offer to help out with information on what you can remove on each specific model (good place to start: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/)
Enjoy your new purchaseAlasdair

Make sure your model doesn't have a recall on the battery and they have the most beautiful screens for any PC.

Sony Vaio VGN-FW93XS user here.
Beautiful machine, the only annoyance is GPU is getting hot pretty quickly in summers. I have to keep the room cool all the time.

Sony vaio is only the second best to Apple Mac. My first preference had always been a mac.

My brother has a Vaio and it's quite sexy. I actually wish I had one myself since they seem to be better than my HP junk I bought from Circuit City.
Nothing here right now.
