I personally own a
Sony Vaio PCG Z1AP and I love it....Have never had a problem with it...
In the past I have owned a Dell Inspiron and the Dell Latitude. I did have a hard drive go on the Latitude and Dell had a hard drive in my hands the next day....It was easy to replace..
I have been seeing the new IBM notebook commercials and have read a couple of articles about their hard drive impact system that looks pretty good.
My Sony has one thing missing that I liked about the Dells...The Dells had buttons above and below the touchpad and the Sony does not...It was much easier for me to work with two hands when I had this configuration...Now I just pack a mouse......
