I purchased a Sony Vaio and have had a bad go of it.  This laptop is not for anyone that isn't an expert.  I am just learning about computers and I think the salesman should have directed me to a more user friendly laptop.  I have had to learn much more than I wanted to in order to function on this machine.  Have you ever gotten a new toy and just wanted to play with it all the time?  That's what I wanted to do when I got my new Vaio, the difference is, I can't understand how much of it works!  Go figure!
