I’ve had my VAIO, the PCG-K33 model
for close to four years now, and no problems at all. Knock on silicon! But I’m using it as my workhorse, no
looping is done with it, as I’m still a floorpedal “analog”
looper. J I bring it outside on wireless, under the picnic table umbrella
and surf the net, email, etc. and I’ve never had a problem viewing the
screen. I do have a few music programs on it, such
as iTunes and other apps that convert music formats, etc. still, no problems. I’ve
also done LOTS of CD burning on it, and I occasionally run Adobe Audition and
also Soundplant, when I run it through my guitar rig. FWIW… Ed in NJ From: Jim Goodin
[mailto:jimgoodinmusic@gmail.com] I would echo Harry's review. We've had a Viao in the past (was
before XP) and had dealings with their support which is not great. We had
keyboard damage and were in warranty and they did support it in the end but one
sensed they to be pretty much by the book and standoffish. Frankly in the
computer industry the only one decent for my dealings has been DELL which I've
known more from my work world generally the Latitude series. IBM makes
great stable hardware but has a history of not so good tech support again my
experience in corporate worlds. I love Apple products and have a G3
powerbook and G4 tower. My kids both have Macbooks (white ones).
Though I do love OSX and Apple's sense of fun in their products I'm
disappointed in their laptop hardware being so delicate and to a sense cheap in
design. We've had to replace now the power adapters for the Macbooks 4
x. I have found generics on ebay that one has outlasted the Apple and the
other died though the vendor is honoring it. On the same Macbook though I
argued power management issues with my son in the end I just replaced his
battery. His Macbook is 1.5 years now. Of all my laptop experience
the DELL Latitudes seem to be the most dependable including their
service. I have had the luxury of Gold Suppor from them due to corporate
paying for it. Jim Goodin

I've generally liked them but my last experience was not a good one. The
hard drive on my laptop crashed within a day or two of the warranty
expiring. The hard drive was good but the motherboard was zapped.
When I called SONY to take care of it they basically told me to take a
hike. I argued with the guy and pointed out to him that I had been a long
time purchaser of SONY products and he continued to tell me I was out of luck
but that he would look into it. Shortly after I purchased a laptop
from a different manufacturer SONY called me back and announced that they would
take care of it and would send me a mailer to send the computer back to them
for repair. By then it was too late and I had already removed the hard
drive from the VAIO and restored my data using an enclosure. My experience with SONY is that they are
generally good products (however, I will never buy another one) but are
overpriced in that you can get the same or superior quality from other
manufacturers for less money. Regards, Harry Harry Weinberg, Esq. In a message dated 10/13/2008 7:02:01 A.M.
