and I can easily say they are the best built laptops i've used.

If you have any technical skill you can get your VAIO running like a champ.
first thing you do is reformat. after a year and a half, i'm currently running 68 processes and i've never got a blue screen
My windows 7 boot time is under 20 seconds.

I dont want to spend time pitching you a VAIO,
but the only thing i'm saying is that I've NEVER had a problem with my FW and CS,
they work great, well built screens, keyboard very durable, extremely reliable,
I've never had to call tech support or send it in for repair.

However, the SR, SZ, and Z series are incredibly nice machines. The Z series is probably the best quality machine I've ever touched. I purchased several sony SZ series laptops at my company and they were the only laptops we had that never broke. Every Dell we had broke. Every single one.

... but then again, Dell's service and support is incredibly easy to use and responsive. I don't know about Sony's but I never had to use it. :)]]>Oct 8th 2009 3:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/

I've bought Sony for a while and still think the Vaio Z is the best combination of speed, looks, battery life and weight (very important and seemingly forgotten... I'd rather have lighter than thinner) on the market but their new products are far too expensive vs. the market.]]>Oct 7th 2009 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 8:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 10th 2009 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 8th 2009 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/Oct 7th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/

The battery choices are fine, though I'd still take the flat snap on battery design that makes it thicker overall rather than this wedge thing.

And they messed up the keyboard. The right shift key looks kind of unacceptable. Just push the cursor keys down a row fer crying out loud!

If it really does have an Atom, then its not worth paying this sort of money. Even with a CULV it would still be an interesting question if it was worth the price. But an Atom, no thanks.

Still, it sure is beautiful.]]>Oct 8th 2009 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/laptops/352255/sony-vaio-x-series]]>Oct 10th 2009 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/vaio-x-spotted-in-champagne-propped-up-by-extended-battery-rip/http://www.laptopbatteriesinc.co.uk/ Sony Laptop Battery
