A lot of these laptops are all the same inside the name on the outside is just for the case What ever you buy get the extended warranty I have several computers and I've used it on every one. They are usually two-three years after the manufacture's Once part start to deteriorate they get replaced with updated nice new parts. Dell is the exception all their computers come a great warranty and customer support probably because they are so durable and do not need servicing. Also the DVD is great get it You'll thank yourself when that annoying kid is crying the whole flight and you only heard it at the begging and end of the movie.

I am very pleased with the Sony Vaio "super slim". It has a docking station which is included however I really don't need it for my trips and the computer itself is VERY "slim" and compact. I have had it for a little less than one year and have no complaints at all, I purchased it at Best Buy for around $1600 and they have a great service plan that pretty much covers everything for 3 years (including the battery) which is costly when it goes. At the end of the three years you are also able to extend the service plan if one chooses to do so. Dell and others "looked" good BUT I think Sony was a safe bet with a proven track record and really didn't feel like having to send a computer out to be serviced should something go wrong with it. A few friends have been without their lap top due to having to ship it out to service centers- ( no joy)- Best Buy and others who sell Sony will either fix it OR give you a brand new one right on the spot. I have nothing but praise for the service agreement that Best Buy & Sony are able to offer to the consumer.

Sony also has a very respectable and welcomed software package that is included not to mention the support and backing that you the customer will get from Sony.

I had been in the market from quite some time and when I saw the Sony it was very hard to beat in my opinion. IF you have a Sony digital camera or are into photography then you will most definately enjoy the software that is included and pre-loaded.
Sony has a pretty impressive line of laptops out on the market today and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market.
