Not too sure if i'm a nerd, although i wish i was sometimes:o anyhow, i've got this laptop [in red, even though i wanted pink:D] for a few months now and it seems quite good, al-Humdulillaah. I don't know much about computers, so i can't help with what is working well, and what it contains, etc...Insha-Allah i was of some help:)

excuse me

negative feedback about products are very important because the can be the deciding factor of whether you will end up purchasing it or not.

EEmz I like this lappy but mms is right when she says that ure paying for the prettiness rather than what it can actually offer u
I own a sony viao similar same size just not a glossy red. a mad silver. Tho I hate it. Its a crap laptop and no doubt I am getting rid of it next month. Sonyviao is good but the latest ones are better. How much is it going for?

Vaios are pretty good laptops. I prefer Macbook Pros (costs about 200$ or so more than Vaios of similar config)

hmm.....I think I may need I new laptop too. Although I could never afford one, not now anyway. The one I'm using momentarily died yesterday and refused to start up even after it had been fully charged. Of course I started freaking out. I mean, what would I do without my internet family? *grabs head* What shall I ever do without Ummah Forum?

Sorry I dont follow the trends, they bore me. I prefer to be a sheepdog, not a sheep.

:love:

Ironically though, I was already a bit macabre before the trend started. :rolleyes:

I cracked up the first time I heard Sony was planning on making a laptop. Conjured up images of walkmen and playstations. Get a Dell XPS.

Nah it doesn't scratch easily...but it does get dirty easily:o

This is my first laptop and ive just had it for about 2-3 months, so i dnt know if you wanna go with my advice. Perform istikhara insha-Allah and you should be fine :)

well the reason i want a vaio is because 2 of my siblings have one and they reccomended them.

retail price of he laptop is around 800pounds but as a teacher if i order it through the school i should be able to get the VAT knocked off. so if i was going to go for a spec that cost that much anyway, why not a vaio.

CR Series are good, but I would recommend the NR Series (http://gallery.vaio.eu/product_gallery/index.php?s=nr&c=gb) if you want something with style. However, if you want a good solid laptop you want a Toshiba. Whatever you do DO NOT get a Dell, even though they sell laptops with Linux.

If you have money so spend, get this (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html).

Yep, Vista runs very nicely on the MBA. But XP runs even better and uses much less HD space (HD space is of course a little tight on the Air, especially if you get the SSD like I did)

So I've reverted back to XP on this machine. I still run Vista on my desktop.

But back to the original topic, most of the people I know have had pretty good success with the Vaio's lately.

If I had to buy a Windows laptop, though, I'd probably go with Lenovo. I like that T-series.
