Laptops - I need a new Viao ?

[Shadytree]

Can anyone recomend any good/cheap vendors ?

Any reason why you want a Vaio?

I'm a mac guy (ever tried one? i got used to mine within a week... and i wouldn't even consider a windows computer now unless i was forced to out of software choice) but ive always thought Dells are better than Sony?

Anyone with more insight?

ps. buy a Powerbook

Used to Windows, want to link it top my desktop PC. I know Powerbooks are good, but don't want a MAC.

no idea... smallish compact, but internal drives.

Sounds like you need to work out what your requirements are, use them to decide on the appropriate model and then hit Google.

Rough spec, what do you want to do with it etc

Got me one of these : http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review952.html

Ok, doesn't have internal drives etc but it's the first laptop that I've had that I'll carry to work every day. As a bonus everyone who sees it goes OOooooo, nice.

Cheapest place I found for my Viao is www.dabs.com

Here. I think it was Dabs or Scan (I'll have a look when I get home). One of those drunk gadget buying battles with the chap I site next to at work. He got an HP tablet pc. Nice, but double the weight and that's want I needed. I think PC World Business (yes, really) had a good deal on them not long ago.

Cheers

I have an A197VP but it might be a bit too much as it sports a 1920 x 1200 XBlack 17" widescreen monitor.

I love that super slim Sony though!

Got to get me one of those!
