I have a 14 month old Sony Vaio A215M. Absolutely love it. My prized possession. Looks the business, performs well. Battery aint super hot - but certainly competent. The Sony X-Black screen is one of the best I've ever used on a laptop. Just a really well put together and thought out machine. worth £1179 as new (Nov 2004), can now pick a reconditioned one up from PC World for just £799. see here.

Guest androne Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 a friend of mine had an older vaio and the hinges that hold the monitor on were faulty, he inquired about repair at a local shop and they told him that was rather common with that model, that was an older model though. just may want to do some searches.

Guest AlexPallas Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 i've had my vaio for years & love it. with the laptops you can purchase something called a docking station for about $200 that has RCA inputs & outputs. it would be extremely easy to do a live set with your laptop and the RCA inputs make it esy to record. you can buy just about any adapter to fit it. 1/4'' XLR et cetera Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/4340-whats-the-dilly-o-with-sony-vaios/#findComment-89226 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Promo Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 My sister's Vaio freezes all the time and to me its pretty slow. Laptops are slow as fuck in my experience. If you're gonna get a sound card for a laptop then its need to be a Firewire one or an internal one forget USB.
