Laptop for Christmas, need help

[sweetprincess23]

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.

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.

I read somewhere that Dell is starting to offer support service from the U.S.





For a fee! Dell has pissed me off so bad that I would throw a huge party if they went belly up.

thumbdrives? sorry you lost me, are you talking about the usb things that store information? SD card? lost me again. I trust that you know what your talking about but its a language I don't know. If I do use one of those thumbdrives will it carry the names of music and artists with the files, thats what I am scared of most. I really don't want to spend a day renaming everything. If I have to than ok, I am VERY greatfull for the gift.
I really like sony products, I have found that it is great quailty, IMO. I just figured they were good for tv's and media stuff, I really like dell. I do know what everyone is talking about as far as talking to India. I spend half of my work day talking to Bob from India, I want to drive off a cliff by the end of the day.

Not sure if you have a Home Network or not, but if you do another way to do it would be set up a share on bro's computer and map to the share and then drag and drop the files you want to copy to a folder on your new computer.

This sounds great, all I know is I am at my parents they have cable wireless internet. What is Home Network? Are you saying if my brother turns his PC on we can link together somehow?

I love my Ipod can't live without it but it is a huge headache sometimes. Why can you only snyc your ipod to one library, well I kinda understand that answer. With technology today I would think that a new library could upload whats on my current ipod.
