My laptop last night 'refreshed' itself back to the stone age and despite all my efforts to recover things it is now dead. Posting will be a bit iffy for a few days while I replace it. That will be the last SONY product I will buy, as my last two computers and my cell phone have all been troublesome. Anyone who wishes to donate to the get Theo a new laptop fund please donate via the paypal accnt in the sidebar.
PS Can anyone recommend a decent laptop that's not a SONY.

I would recommend, an Asus zenbook I have used Asus products consistently over the past 6yrs and this is both personaly and for customers and they have been faultless
Run a small IT company
I prefer, and provide Lenovos.
Toshibas are solid (I have an 8 year old model still in service)
Get one with an SSD, and windows 7 Professional, NOT 8.
Back up your stuff!!
With data - 2 is 1, 1 is nothing.
Apple
Lenovo (was Thinkpad). Nicely built and pretty reliable. Your Sony can probably be fixed unless the screen or motherboard died. That gets expensive, but you could be surprised. Lots of spare parts around.
Now setting up my 3rd HP laptop. The 2nd one, Win 7, is still good but getting old and may not have a lot more life. Wore the numbers off the keys. The first HP got a damaged screen somehow so had to be replace. HP'a Have been good.
Before them, I had a Toshiba, which failed in several hardware areas; not pleased. USB and ethernet died.
I too used to buy Sony laptops but their quality went downhill a few years back and I will never again do so. Try a Lenovo, not sexy but solid and reliable.
I use a Samsung Ultrabook, which I have been very pleased with. The only issue I have is that the trackpad is a bit tricky.
I vote for Lenovo, then Asus in the Windows world. If you can afford it, the Mac Book Pro can be a good choice.
And set up a home NAS - go to synology.com and get your self a nice two bay box.
Mac
Maybe 10 years ago I went through two HP laptops on about 3 or 4 months each ( literally fell apart, used mostly at home- only one road trip between the two. Then got a Sony that was much better. The Sony was still going strong when I had saved up enough money to get my mac.
Nicest thing about the Mac they don't run on Windows!!?
Almost 20 years student computing IT support at a major University. Dell Latitude End of Discussion. Not the Inspiron maybe an XPS but if you want a good laptop. Latitude.
