Laptop for Christmas, need help

Merry Christmas to all! My first question is what does everyone think of the Sony Vaio laptop? I am really a Dell person but I believe they were out so my mom got me a Sony. I don't know anything about them so just wondering what people have heard or dealt with.
My second question is going to be my hardest to deal with probably. All my Itunes music is on my brothers laptop and I need to get it on mine now. I have about 600 or so songs and a few videos. I really don't feel like making cd's of everything because I will have to rename everything again on the new computer. How do I get everything from my brothers computer to mine the easiest way?

Thumb drives,(greatest invention since the microwave oven) or if card reader available use that, SD cards from a digital camera work great 1 gb or better should take care of it and you can delete from both when you are done.

Sony Vaio's are ok. You have to remember though, it's a Sony. It's the most moody product on the market next to Windows/Microsoft products.
As said before, thumb drives will snatch your music.

Santa brought us a Sony Vaio for Christmas. I'm done with Dell.

Me too Dell doesn't seem to be near as reliable as they used to be. I love my HP TouchSmart. It's seems to be the best PC I have ever owned!

Nothing wrong with Sony's other than the annoying software installed at purchase.

I think they wrote this for you today:

I like HP, but wait till you talk to their tech support in India.

After a very long wait recently the B#### says to me: "you sound like you're very far away, I think you have a phone problem." I could barely hear her either.

I say: "Oh really, were are you?"

She says: "I'm in India!"

I say: "Guess what?" You are FAR AWAY!!!"

Hahaha! Yeah I have talked to them and determined that I know more than they do. They irritate the shiat out of me!

When I called Netgear the other day for tech support, he was in India too.
