http://forum.lowyat.net/ Tue, 23 Jun 2026 01:01:34 +0800 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/275667 Recently, both the Sony Vaio <a href='http://www.sony.com.my/sonystyle/product/productinfo_vaio.asp?Subcategoryid=172' target='_blank'><u><span style='color:blue'>VGN-FJ67GP/W</span></u></a> and HP Pavillion 1317 have dropped their prices, to around the same range with quite similar hardware specs.<br /><br />Difference is that, Sony have better software bundle, but I dont think I&#39;ll be needing them too much. HP has a all in one package, but... this Vaio is the cheapest one on the market&#33;&#33;<br /><br />So, I&#39;m kinda tied in the knot here as to which one to get. Both have quite the same spec, however, can be summarized into two factors. <br />1. Looks/Design<br />2. Reliability<br /><br />Clearly the Vaio wins on looks and design, but in terms of usability, reliability and so forth, hp&#39;s the one to go. I hear that that the Vaio can get quite expensive if its spoil and needs to replace spareparts.<br /><br />So, any owners here of them lappies? Comments? Suggestions?<br /><br />Your input to this is highly appreciated&#33;&#33; <!--emo&:thumbs:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbup.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />Cheers. paoster Mobile Computing Thu, 13 Apr 2006 01:40:19 +0800
