I think Sony Vaio sucks big time man. I bought CR 220e series couple of year back. I spend $1000 back then. But it wasnt any thing compared to the price. Its processing wasnt that fast as promised. It took long time to start and shut down. The only thing that was good about it was its look. And to my great surprise its motherboard gave up on me after 2 yr when my warranty was already over. I wasnt too rough with that laptop....i always placed it on my study desk. Never carried it around. But still its mother board got fried. I dont know till know how it happened. I took it to the geek squad and after one week they gave me a call and told me that its gonna cost me $700 to fix that piece of shit. What the hell!! I've already spend $1000 to buy it and i'm not gonna spend another $700 to fix it. Maybe it was just my bad luck, i had real bad experience with sony vaio.
