While the Sony makes more fiscal sense, I've had a Mac for about 7 years now with very few problems. I'm scared I'll get the sony and run into problems and wish I had my MacBook.
Any opinions on the Vaio?

The Sony is only about $685 after taxes and the Mac would be about $1500.

Because I'm a poor student who can just barely pay tuition.

I'm just getting the VAIO and loading the hacked/open source mac os on it.
I don't care for the look and shell of macs. |

Specifically I'm looking at the Sony VAIO NR Series VGN-NR430E/P Notebook Computer (Cherry Blossom).
Hmm, so you guys haven't had lots of issues with Blue Screen of Death? Like I said, I haven't had a Windows based computer in years, so I'm not sure how much their issues have been resolved. |

PC's don't last very long because of the virus's and stuff. MAC's don't get them, so it should run better/faster for a lot longer. Worth
the extra money

I had a VAIO it was about $1400 when I bought it, I had it a little over a year and the motherboard 'died' ... I got it repaired through best buy and
it died again about 2 months later. I have an HP now.

I've had a Vaio for almost 3 years now and I've never had problems with it.

Invest in a Mac. It might be more expensive, but it'll save you headaches down the road with PC problems and money from having to get a lot of repairs.

Basically, buy a Macbook if you don't need a lot of disk space.
Buy a Sony if you want at least 178GB of disk space. It may look inferior in the looks department than a macbook but it has much more room for files and programs. People tend to buy Macbooks for their appearance, imo. |

I have never had a problem with a PC. I have heard others having problems with their MacBook

mac. i've had my ibook g4 for almost three years and have no complaints. how soon will you get it? i've heard that apple's coming out with a new
aluminum macbook and an updated macbook pro sometime in september. you might want to wait because i'm sure there will be more added features and faster
speed.

PC! I'm currently selling my iBook and getting the pink Vaio. I don't like the Mac. I'm like the only one in the world...

I've had both and I like my Mac more than my VAIO.
