Sony: Worth Every Penny
Author: PC-Buyer
I frequently hear people talking about Sony products being expensive. I’ll admit, the price-point is a little higher on a Sony product, but at the same time you’re buying a solid, durable product with some of the best research and development in the world behind it. There’s no point in wasting time with cheap knock-offs, especially when it comes to something as important as a laptop. The Sony Vaio notebook PC has long been an industry leader in compact, powerful portable computing solutions. All of the Sony quality you know and love is present, from the LCD screen to the on/off switch and more.
Don’t get railroaded into a generic laptop just because it’s cheap. Why? Because it’s cheap! Has-beens, never-weres and the litany of electronics of questionable quality provide little more than a disposable, temporary solution for your needs. Sony designs their products to last for years. Everything I’ve ever owned from Sony has lasted an incredible amount of time versus other electronics. Dollar for dollar you get the most for your money with a Sony.
Selecting the Right Laptop
Author: PC-Buyer
I’ve been known around the office as the computer whiz, and a little while back a co-worker approached me about purchasing a laptop. Now I tend to prefer PCs, but I do know a thing or two about laptop computers. I asked my coworker what he wanted in a computer, and he said he was looking for a laptop for practical uses, but also one that he could use to play computer games. There’s seldom a laptop out there that can’t be used for ‘practical purposes’ but gaming is more specialized. You want a laptop with a high performance video card and a lot of RAM for gaming.
I recommended Apple laptops to my coworker; they’re all high performance machines, and despite having less customizability than other brands, the interface is so clean there’s no need to customize. I told him Dell Inspirion laptops were also great for gaming if he wanted to use Windows.
