    Hello everyone,

    I decided to get a Sony laptop (I'm a Sony boy). Yet I google and search for options but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't mind the money since I have saved for it. I'm thinking on functionality. Also I would like to be able to watch DVDs and Blu Rays on it. (I don't mind if I have to buy an external drive either).

    But I would like to know your suggestions. I just can't make up my mind.

    Thank you!


    Antonio

    you do realize Sony no longer is in the laptop industry any more? they exited the PC market early in 2014 I believe. Viao is now a separate company now.
    VAIO launches its first laptops without Sony and they're very, very familiar

    however if you post over in WNSIB forums and fill out the form I am certain you will get a few suggestions, as you didn't say what all functionality you need/want, budget, and many other requirements.

    its very vague when you say watch DVD and Videos, what else do you want, how much ram, screen resolution, screen size, number of cpu, 2 or 4.

    be more specific please and what is your budget?

    The most important question you need to ask yourself is - do I need a discrete GPU? That will narrow the field considerably.

    No support. Try another brand.
