Buying a new Laptop, Opinions?

[ZebraRampage]

Well, I actually just bought the Sony Vaio. It took me a while to hit the "Place Order" button, but I don't regret my purchase.

I looked at the HP Pavilion and the Sony Vaio in stores. I realized that there are a lot of things I don't like about the aesthetics of the HP, but those articles about the malfunction rates kind of worried me as well. I do believe that a lot of malfunctions are due to the users though. This laptop is going to be taken care of though.

Thanks for the input everyone. I believe I made a good purchase here.

I'm going to post some pictures of what I got. This machine really kicks ass, so I'd recommend it if you're planning on getting a new laptop soon. The only issue is that it has a high pitched buzzing noise that goes away when you change some settings for the microphone such as muting it and checking the box that says to listen to the device. That's okay because if it's on mute then the buzzing goes away, and I only use the mic when I'm on the webcam, and when you do that with the mic unmuted, the buzzing noise isn't there too, so it's not really a problem.

Anyway, now for the pictures.




















The first three were taken without flash, and the next two were taken with flash. The last one is a shot of the backlit keyboard, which is pretty awesome.

I wish my laptop had the backlit keyboard.

Looks like a great machine though. My girlfriend bout the Sony Vaio SR a couple of days ago. It's a 13.3 inch laptop with a great graphics card, which is pretty rare.
