Vaio vs Thinkpad !

[aki]

which one is the best ? pros and cons ?

 

[Wojtek]

Vaio = Sexy
Thinkpad = Ugly

 

[Blank Verse]

Vaio - Sony

Thinkpad - Not Sony

Therefore, get the Thinkpad.

I agree with BOTH Wojtec and BV. The Sony is sexier, but, well, it's a sony.

 

[Robert]

Sony= Sucks
IBM=Sucks
Dell= Yay
Alienware = WOOHOO!

agreed..but...if his two options are a Vaio and a Thinkpad...take the Thinkpad.

IBM is far superior to Dell.

Apple > IBM > Dell > HP > Gateway > eMachines >* > Sony

 

[aki]

so no sony??

 

[Blank Verse]

Apple? Apple is only better depending on what you use your computer for. As far as A/V stuff and video editing, etc, then yes, Apple is better, but overall...no.

i use ibm right now and i must admit, this machine is like a tank. i punched the screen,no prob, punched the keyboard = no problem

but can u tell why not sony ??

 

[Wojtek]

because sony sucks
they are flimsy, flimsy, not solid and support sucks

my friend bought a sony
screen went out 2 weeks after, sony said its his fault and won't honnor any returns/repairs for free and estimated 1200 for repairs. sad... he then sold it on ebay instead.

While imb isnt as hot looking, they are very very reliable, and not overpriced.

Is punching the machine the reason you're currently looking for a new machine?

 

[aki]

[Wojtek]

Hint: no

Anything but gaming, really, which shouldn't even be an issue since I'm referring to laptops here.

MacOS X is far superior to Windows.

 

[Wojtek]

install linux on your ibm and you'll have an apple

Apple > IBM > Gateway > Dell > HP > eMachines > * > Sony > Compaq

Sony is for A/V equipment, not computers.

Build your own laptop. It's possible.
