I am looking at Sony Vaio's. Have you had any experiences with these and were they good or bad?

I'm not GWGuy but I'll answer anyway.That's what I have now - good machine - just DON'T get it with Vista.
Do you know if I can get it without Vista?

You can now but when I got mine, it wasn't an option.
Kewl! I am reading reviews on the VGN-AR770. Things are not looking to good. I sure don't want to get stuck with another POS like this XPS! I will NEVER buy another Dell as long as I live. This is the second XPS they have sent me and it's starting to fall apart too and it's not even 6 months old!

Earth to GWGuy. Wake up! 
Just kidding, this is the only thing I could come up with to "bump" the thread.

You aren't supposed to drop it, then it won't fall apart.

We mostly buy Dell's here, BUT there are a few Sony Vaio's and I really like them. I think out of the 10 or so floating around there has been zero failures, even with the oldest which is about 3 - 4 years old.
I would own one.

IMHO they Suck
Sony loads a bunch of CRAPWARE on the systems by default ... that is a pain to have to remove

So, the whole PC sucks because you have to deinstall some software?

Yeah ok .... maybe that was a little extreme ...
I only dealt with one VAIO back in 01 and it was a real PITA ....
I swore them off after that ....

The most important is support after the fact. Since usually you pay more just because of the Sony name make sure you have support. PCs generally don't matter when comparing the brand names. They all run the same crappy OS. It is the customer support experience that you are paying for.

Now that does have some extra features that you can not get from most manufactures.

I looked at the Lenovo's. I did not see one that would compare to my XPS and I want to have at least the power I am getting rid of. This computer is top of the line (or was when I bought it) and when it is working it screams power! The only things I have found so far that can come close is the Sony Vaio and the HP dv9700z. I do not want to go down in screen size so its making my search a little more difficult.
