<p>I just got my Sony and like it. Went to that from a Dell and wasn't disappointed with that but it was getting old. I've played around with IBMs, Toshibas, etc and you get what you pay for.... my dad brings home many different laptops and a high end laptop from any of the major brands is still a decent computer. I can't say that any are really crap and any stick out as being great. </p>
<p>... I went with Sony because of size, battery life, and an amazing screen.</p>
