I have a vaio (The first model ever made actually) and I always liked it. It has been dependable and when I needed support Sony help was great. I have heard bad things about Dell, but I have to say I would not be afraid to buy one if the price was right.\n\nI will say this, I bought my vaio to be a video editing machine, at the time it was decent but the technology really did not allow me to do what I wanted to. It was designed for home video not professional work. My advice would be to get the vaio as an all around home PC. Get something else if you need a professional application like video editing.\n\nTony

Probably the Yahoo server is a little slow your end and your browser is waiting for it to respond. I don't think Dell are any worse then anyother computer manufacturer.\nReally same sort of parts to any other like for like but just badged different on the box.

And Dell will cheat you on specs.  I wouldn't buy a cheap Dell, I'd buy a more expensive Dell or build one myself.  But in your price range I would check out these systems at Circuit City, http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/catOid/-12962/N/20012961+20012962+312962001/link/ref/rpem/ccd/categorylist.do I would also consider spending a little mroe money ($410) and getting the one with 512MB of memory.

It's as good as most others.  I don't know where they got the reputation for quality - they're assembled from the same parts that any brand name computer has.   I'm not crazy about their tech support which requires you to chat with an artificial intelligence before they elevate your problem to something that should be handled by a human.\n\nThe one thing Dell has going for it is the Wallmart-like stranglehold on it's manufacturers, which keeps their prices very cheap.\n\nThe worst thing I can say about Dell is that you won't be able to buy a computer with an AMD CPU, which means, for the time being, you won't be able to get the fastest computers.  However, you'll be able to save enough money that you might get more for your money if you're not going for a top-of-the-line machine.\n\nBeware of the add-ons if you do go with Dell or most brands, for that matter.  That's where they get you.  The warranty, the leather case, the printer, etc.  Most of those things can be purchased for less money elsewhere - especially the RAM.  They always give you the bare minimum RAM so that the base price looks low and then they gouge you to upgrade to more RAM.  If you want to save a bundle, just get your RAM from another store (search pricewatch, that's a good start) because it'll be much cheaper and RAM's super easy to pop in.

look at the min requirements for your game, then double them.  then you will know you have a laptop that should run the programs with out problems.  Don't look only at name brand, I bet alot of people that don't know jack about computers will come on here and say get a dell, fuckin ay the name don't mean jack! its the guts that matter.

CPU? RAM? Harddrive space? \n\nYou provide no info. And no, you did not get a good deal because Dell is garbage. They are kind of like AOL, they advertise the heck out of a horrible product and get people to buy it.

There is no Dell equivalent. The Macbook can run all the software that the Dell can run but the Dell can't run everything the Macbook can. \n\nOS X is much better than Windows, and it's much more secure.\n\nGet the Macbook. You'll be glad you did.

theres trouble with the Gateways, and they're quite convinced they're right....\nthey say the dells have better bios'\nand shared memory's a fright...\n\nbuild it yourself from top-notch components or go Alienware...they compromise nothing...

I know people who have been satisfied with the VAIO notebooks in the past, but any of them who have since purchased new laptops went with another brand.\n\nPersonally, I've recently researched laptops before purchasing one, and I'm not that impressed with the VAIO, they seem to have less capability than similarly priced computers, and not just the bargain brands, but good quality companies.  \n\nIn the end I went with an HP, my second one so far, and I have yet to be disappointed.

I would never own anything but a dell!  We've had many different computers but nothing ever lived up to the dell.  We now own 4 dell laptops (one for each of us) and a dell pc.

It is better then Delienware. Dell owns alienware now so I bet it sucks now.

Go return the dell, read up on computers, and go build your own computer. It will be alot faster and way cheaper also.\n\n*If they don't take it back, sue them for not accepting their own policy.*

I personally prefer IBM for a laptop but if I had to choose between Dell and Compaq it would be Dell hands down!

I think Dell is the best.  Good service, good prices and top quality laptops.
