    I was once nearly seduced by a Mac Book Pro.




    I got better, though.

    Please don't tell me you're going to use a Macbook for playing games on. That's like taking your kids to school in a Ferrari.

    Vaios Z's are lovely and horrible in equal amounts, they are light and fast have half decent graphics but the fans are pants, they arent very robust (hinges on screens particularly) and the dual graphic thing causes umpteen problems using dual monitor set-ups and they change thier model line up every 14 weeks which for a corporate IT dept is a support nightmare.

    When I worked at SCEE they did a cost analysis and worked out that we could save at least 300K a year in support costs by using dell's or hp's, then Kaz Hurai became CEO of Sony Electronics as well as SCEE and that got knocked on the head

    When will they learn :/ I've got the SZ series, which I believe is no longer being made. It was previously their fast yet portable flagship model, though it's more of a premium S series than the new Z series. By and large, I've got no complaint EXCEPT for the fan that died after only a little over 2 years.
