I enjoy always used Vaios and never have any problems

My vote would be the Vaio, they are definitely the upmost quality Intel base machines. They definitely thump out Dell, HP/Compaq and IBM, Acer and all the rest. But you are right Mac laptops are a different monster but if you are not tech-saavy for a Mac and used to Windows type environment it may bea big learning curve for you on the mac if you don't own a mentor to show you around
DEFINATELY mac!

100%
definately the mac. Sony arent where its at outside of audio
they are both well brought-up.it depends on waht you are majoring i think.
i vote for the sony.
SONY !!!!!
I get a free laptop from this site, I highly recommend it!
