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.
