My friend bought one to run is CNC and he seems to love it. He's really picky about displays and he claims their x-bright screen is best on the market. Probably not an issue for people here, but perhaps that's where Sony puts the money in, the display. Seems to make sense for a company who makes a ton of it's money on Televisions. I picked Sony as an example because I was looking for a "brand" the way Apple is a brand. I my recent research a lot of people claimed the build of the new Vaios was really good. Who knows? To me they're all boxes. My girlfriend has a 6 year old viao she gave me that's still working well as a coffee table websurfer... though I can't seem to get a wireless linksys card to work with it... --- Stephen Goodman <spgoodman@earthlight.net> wrote: > Yerks!
