Won one from PussyCash. I love it. Granted I dont do heavy design work but it does everything I need and more. Highly recommend them.

FlogTheLog · 12-19-2005, 03:43 PM

i found they get way to fucking hot....

OldSchoolJim · 12-19-2005, 03:47 PM

I have had mine for almost 5 years!! bought a new one...but just cannot give my VAIO up.....best laptop i ever bought

ServerGenius · 12-19-2005, 03:47 PM

I've got 2 they're really good, No laptop has a better screen than sony, never
driver problems....everything you hook up to it just works.....the bad thing is
they have a really shitty battery life......at least the standard battery you'll
get with it when you buy it. I think it had juice for like half an hour

Overall I love em and wouldn't trade them for another brand.

my 3 year old vaio just had the lcd backlight go out on it. About 200 bucks, otherwise I would have just gotten a new one.

EroticySteve · 12-19-2005, 03:50 PM

I have a Vaio desktop that i'm happy with if the quality is similar you'll be happy with it.

Dalai lama · 12-19-2005, 03:51 PM

I love the design of it, it's really slick

Stallion · 12-19-2005, 03:56 PM

I had one and got rid of it. I worked ok but I like Toshibas and the Dells better. But hey that's my opinion..

Platinumpimp · 12-19-2005, 04:03 PM

Vaios are good laptops. Bit expensive though.

detoxed · 12-19-2005, 04:19 PM

I just ordered one as my "travel" computer. I'll let you know how it turns out when it arrives.

XJ Man · 12-19-2005, 04:24 PM

I picked up a S460 about 3 months ago and LOVE it. Battery life is around 2-2.5 hours. Great monitor. Only complaint is that it does get HOT.

12-19-2005, 04:27 PM

I have a 13.3" 1.6 centrino, and it is the best INVESTMENT I have ever made

the only laptops that LOOK as good are Alienware, and those a kiddiehacker style laptops

here is a pic of mine:

pornpf69 · 12-19-2005, 04:33 PM

grumpy · 12-19-2005, 04:34 PM

kiddiehacker? lol wtf. They have gay ass cases but they are good desktop replacement laptops. Just like my Sager.

Brujah · 12-19-2005, 05:08 PM

I have 2 old Vaio's that I retired. One had a fan that broke, and it was a bitch to replace and deal with support. I've had much better luck with my Dell, but I bought a good support plan with it too. Guy comes out to my house, fixes it.

I really like the Toshiba Qosimo's. When I upgrade I'll probably get one of those.

I have mine from 3 years ago, it's been on nonstop. The fan broke and it's still running

bdld · 12-19-2005, 05:25 PM

Marshal · 12-19-2005, 06:07 PM
