me too.
vaio's look nice and sexy but they aint that good. even support for
windows is a bit naff. older models do not support XP, and it wouldnt
surprise me if a current model didnt have it on, then it probably wont
go on.
but you dont care about XP, i hope. i find mine to be just tooo slooow.
a P3 at 500 +256 and it still chugs.
i'd recommend dell. never owned one, but i've only heard good things
about them.
