RANT Sony laptops are crap.

[tpunx99GSX]

So i need to explain this. Around 6 months ago we purchased 4 sony TZ195N laptops. THEY ARE COMPLETE JUNK. Every single one of them have had something wrong with it.
The TZ195 is the cadalac of the sony laptop line. We got the one with all the bells and whistles, SSD Drive, 4GB RAM, everything.
The good: They are really sexy laptops. I must say that they are sleek and very light.
And thats about it.

The bad:
First off when i got the first of these laptops, i had to uninstall so much freakin crapware that it would take over 3 hours getting everything out. The remaining ones i just ended up reinstalling windows completly to get everything off.
SmartWi connection utility is a POS and is constantly bugging and slowing the computer.
One of the laptops, 3 days after the user had it in his possesion he started getting BSOD, So im looking at it like what did the user do, But no it turned out to be the RAM took a shit on me. So i put in some other ram and it has run fine (the ram was out of one of our dells. )
Our Co-CEOs sony lasted him maybe 2 weeks, before it went from fast, to COMPLETLY SLOW. I ended up switching him to a laptop to be mencioned later.
So to what sparked this whole thread...
Last night at 4:50 (i ususally work till 5 so of course it was gonna happen right before im supposed to go home.) Our CTO asks me to take a look at this sony laptop. The POS is just booting into windows, BUT IS TAKING FOR EV ER! Of course smartWi bugged out, it was giving an error about the video card driver. I try to go into the task manager, but thats hella slow as well. Takes at least 2 min to end process on one item. Finally i tell him ill get him a new laptop and we will switch him over to that quickly. Lucky hes not one that has any other programs besides Office 07. To get his files over i was going to pull the hard drive and drop it in a external Case, but NOOOOO cant take apart a sony because its a fucking sony. I managed to get one side up so i could look into there, and i couldnt even see the freakin hard drive. and i got it down to 4 more screws, and even with my small screw driver it wouldnt go into the sony screws. Fucking BS.
Same computer different situation, Previously about maybe 2 months ago, the CTO came to me saying his computer wont boot. You push the button and it blinks at you and doesnt turn on. He said that if he shakes the computer then tries it usually works. So i try just pushing it for maybe 30 minutes, and then get so pissed off that i start shaking it here and there and pushing the button, and the thing finally turns on. Last night i put it in sleep mode, this morning go to turn it on and its doing the same shit, so i shake and shake it until finally the bitch turns on, Im ready to throw this fucking thing through the window.
Support:
LMFAO, worst support ever. Hands down. i dont even want to get into that.

The new Hottness:
So after the first batch of sonys i vowed never to get one of these sonys again. For a month i was ordering dells and returning them to get a good spec we can use for all of our laptops. Finally we settled on the XPS M1330. I have never been happier with Dell in my life. We ended up getting these laptops for LESS THEN HALF of what we paid for the sonys. they weigh almost the same, have a MUCH faster processor, Better video card, 4GB RAM, LED backlit monitor, we got a couple with SSD drives, but even the ones with the 250gb regular hard drives are faster then the sonys.
I HAVE NOT HAD ONE SINGLE PROBLEM WITH THESE DELLS. Not one. And if i did, i have the peice of mind to know that i can call dell and they will overnight the parts to me for FREE.

Cliff notes: Sony Laptops are complete overpriced SHIT. Dont buy them. Believe me i can make any computer fast, but these sonys are beyond help.
Get a dell.
