A fried motherboard isn't that small of a problem.Oh, well. Other than the fried motherboard problem, I haven't had any other problems with the Vaio.Vaios are too expensive for what they are.
I had a horrible cheap Dell Inspiron 1000 (£250 was the cheapest laptop around when I bought it) and I'm glad to be rid of it now. That said, I've never had any problems with it - it's just really slow. Even worse now my sister put Windows back on it. It was bearable with Ubuntu, but XP and whatever crap she's installed with it just slows it down horribly.
Typing this on a computer I built myself from parts - but I am using a Dell monitor which is, by the way, excellent.
Dell guilty of fraud and false advertising

Took about ten days for Sony to ship the packing box out (free of charge), ship it out, and get it back (had to go to a UPS center to claim it)A fried motherboard isn't that small of a problem.Oh, well.

What! I am using a Vaio right now and I happen to like it muchly.Vaios are crap though.
I am SICK and TIRED of COMPUTER SNOBS telling me the COMPUTERS I HAVE are no GOOD. D:<
They fecking WORK. THE END.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Well I'm typing this on a Sony Vaio but it would be a Dell if I were at work or on my parents computer. They haven't had any problems with Dell thus far but then again, they haven't had to deal with their customer service yet. Nor would they really need to for some simple things as I've got mad skillz when it comes to computer repair and troubleshooting

HEY! I'm on an HP (my desktop), and am considering using my stimulus check to get a new hard drive, once I figure out how to move all the pics I have on here to it.i'm quite happy with my toshiba. and staples seems like it has better deals for moderately priced laptops with a usable graphics card than best buy.
as for dell and sony...both seem overpriced, but at least they aren't HP.
