Re: Buying a new laptop - suggestions pls.
heart beat - I've had trouble with my Dell and I know a few other people that have also had problems with Dell. It's a good computer but there's probably a reason they have good customer service lol.
I checked out the Sony Vaio and the Dell XPS M1330 and I liked the Sony Vaio much better. I really didn't like the Dell XPS's keyboard and the touch pad was way too small even though there was plenty of space to make it a little bigger. The Vaio was nice, but I'm afraid to take the risk of buying it in pink with the design without having seen it in real life. They only had the plain silver one at the store. =\
Phatima, I dont know how much you know about computers or notebooks.
Dell's old Series is not compareable with XPS series. More over comparing the XPS series with the Sony FZ is like comparing apples with oranges (technically speaking).
On the other hand the shapes and color might attract you, but I believe in 2 years time (with VISTA) you will need an upgrade. NOtebook upgrades are very expensive.
But If you need a notebook for only working on MS Office then I rather suggest you to buy any cheap one.
