The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

I suppose really only the Vaio N series from stores and maybe if you buy used you have more choices. Vaios can be pretty expensive compared to the competition....
Basically, the "good" VAIO models (the ones that are unique in looks and/or features and size) are well beyond the $1000 range. The Vaio N offers nothing spectacular, and there are many better alternatives. But the SZ, TX and UX series are gems...
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
