WE moved on to Sony Vaio's at the office. Nice wide screen but all sorts of technical issues at a level I never saw in past generations of other laptops.
My own machine blew the power supply which took the supplying dealer two weeks to fix, another machine runs continually hot, another hangs in the ProtectorSuite proprietary startup/shutdown software .....
I suspect that Sony just badge up something from a manufacturer in China. The one thing is the worldwide sales and marketing - I bought a replacement power supply in Russia when I'd forgotten mine at home. Oh well, back to HP next time.
