Re: Buying a new laptop - suggestions pls.
ACTUALLY, Sony does 90% junk. Almost their whole line is now contracted out to factories in Malaysia, Taiwan and China. Think you bought a Sony LCD? It's a Wistron LCD. Wistron what? Exactly. You're better off buying a Sharp for half the price (which coincidentally also produces Sony LCDs).
Sony has got their marketing down pat and brand crazy like you keep them afloat. I've got Sony at my house but I'm not afraid to say that it's all hype. There are much better products made by less-cachet brands. The alternatives are more reliable and they also cost less.
In conclusion, Sony computers might look good but reliability issues will make them useless decoration pieces.
No Hsk, Sony does not produce junk and producing anything in Malasyia and China is no more a junk these days. They have much better quality than same electronics made in USA or even Germany.
And regarding LCDs, no one is perfact. Samsungs LCDs are one of the best, but Ill never would advice you to buy Samsung dvd writers.
Phatima, I'm happy. Thats a fine decision but now you have VISTA as OS. It took you 3 pages to decide. 1st page pe hi meri baat maan lethi aap :p
