Sony VAIO VGN-SZ450N/C PC Notebook —

I have had Sony Vaios for over five years and this was natural choice when I was in the market for a laptop. While my desktop works great, the Sony laptop is very unreliable. It is very light and easy to use. However, the battery did fail numerous times and I wound up having to take it in for service over three times. Although I still think Sony makes great computers, I cannot recommend their laptops.
