Im looking for a 17 in laptop that ticks all the right boxes.

I bought a Acer Aspire with a 18.4 inch screen 2 weeks ago but had to take it back as it doent support english(im in Spain) becouse it was loaded with that stupid Home Premium:xxx:

I quite like the look of the Sony Viao range.Anybody got one?

Steve.

have a look on amazon.co.uk, their laptops normally have buyers reviews.

Sonys are good until they go wrong, friends have had no problems with them until about 2 years later, when they have had Hard drives go, LCD connectors break etc, the newer range should be better, but remember you are paying for the brand!! No joke sony add something stupid ontop of there price because it is sony

MM thanks for the replys guys i did like the Acer but people put me off it by saying how crap they are.

Personally I would go for in this order:

 

HP - (Good laptops but you can get better bang for buck from other manufacturers prob one of the most reliable laptop makes out there)

Toshiba - (customer service is best i have experienced in UK with turn around if the laptop develops a fault with in less than a week)

 

Then Sony good laptops but overpriced for what you can get from other manufacturers. (ie HP & Toshiba)

 

Dell, Acer personally stay clear of these you will get nothing but hasel from these two in my experience and that is being in the IT industry for over 8 years now as a Pro.
