Just what I've read, I've never owned one yet...
I've repaired a lot of laptops in my time and 2 companies make it practically impossible to get parts without letting them completely repair your unit themselves (and charge you a fortune for the privilege), those companies are Apple and Sony.Caeraphym wrote:I read somewhere Sony weren't to hot for replacement parts and aftersales service for their machines though, despite looking quite sexy.

But now you must, don't leave us dangling with our wallets flapping in the breeze of uncertainty
Apple are quite good, their A/C adaptors are shite thoughAltered State wrote:Caeraphym wrote:Au contraire!Futago wrote:Do be honest though in terms of frequency of breakdowns, Sony are pretty low on the list (I wont mention the highest!).

Its Apple.
get an HP. I did heavy computing on one (including audio) for 3 and a half years and it didn't let me down once. It was built like a fucking tank as well.abZ wrote:Every laptop I have ever owned I have hated. Wish I could get a good recommendation! I have a 17" widescreen on my lappy, I still wouldn't want to use it for production. I still like my tower for that.
My last joint was a compaq. It wasn't great. Wasn't horrible either I guess. I have a Toshiba now and it is garbage imo. Thinking about getting something cheaper and smaller basically just for djing and messing around on the web. I can't deal with the bloatware most companies stack up on their machines tho.thetaco wrote:get an HP.

Yeah I tried that with my Toshiba. First I tried putting XP on and that didn't work out too well since they don't support it driver wise for my computer. Tried doing it again with Vista and still couldn't get everything to work right. Finally I used their restore disk that it came with. Such a shitty way too it. The Toshiba drivers suck ass. I often times fail at computers tho to be fair.Caeraphym wrote:Go with Dell, Acer, or Toshiba and perform a format and fresh install of your OS to remove all unnecessary OEM 'bloatware': Sorted!
