I bought a 12" ultra portable Vaio about 2 years ago. Cost me almost $3000, a little over a year ago the screen on it died. Just went poof and nothing got displayed anymore. i sent it to Authorized Sony service centre in Calgary and was told that the entire screen needs to be changed because it simply went poof entirely. The cost of it is $1700... I paid for that piece of shit almost $3k and after a year of moderate use it dies so bad that it needs additional $1700 to make it work again? WTF???

I fought with SONY for 2 months but they were not able to fix it under warranty, because the computer was already a month past the one year warranty. I was forced to pay $300 estimate fee (because I didn't go ahead with the repair), the phone calls to SONY Canada are useless, you're gonna spend days on hold until you eventually give up, emails to SONY Headquarters to Tokyo returned no results... Do you think I will ever buy or recommend SONY product to anyone???

Before you buy SONY, think twice. I have another Toshiba which has Win 98 on it, it is 8 years old, slow as fuck as per current requirements, but still works. SONY is the worst ever. Period!
