New Laptop – Sony VAIO FS550

My wife has been using a Toshiba
tablet
for a while at home and this weekend we replaced it.  When it comes
to consumer electronics, I am not picky.  What can I say, I am just not a hardware
guy.

I could have bought on-line, but instead went to the local (2) computer stores and
browsed their wares.  The team at work runs Dell Latitudes, but this is a different
problem, so CompUSA and Best
Buy
to the rescue!  I bought my wife a Sony
VAIO
 and she is very happy with it.  To tell the truth, I am really
impressed with this machine.  I wouldn’t mind having one as my development platform. 

Of course, when purchasing at Best Buy I ended up buying the “service plan”.
Hey, I figure it is one less thing that I will have to do and with all of the kids
around my house, I know I’ll end up replacing hinges at some point in the next 3 years.
