<p>I'd go with Sony. I'm on my second Vaio laptop, and at my house we also have two Vaio desktops and another Vaio laptop. Nothing but Vaios for six years now, and they work flawlessly.</p>
<p>The main reason my family is big on Sony is because of how Sony products are compatible with each other, thanks to Sony Memory Stick. It's great to have one memory stick that can be used with a Sony digital camera, camcorder, PSP, photo printer, music player, Clie, and even television.</p>
