Laptop Crisis!

[sincere]

Laptops are the bane of my existence. And yet, I crave them.

refracting recommended a Vaio like this.
maladaptive recommended this Dell.
madfnorder recommended the third-party WidowPC.

I do not want to spend more than $1800 on a laptop.
I'll want to buy it over the weekend. It's a sales-tax free holiday weekend, so I'll pay no sales tax, la~

What do you think?

If you have any nightmare stories about how Dell sent out a crew to repair your laptop and they used your drapes for handkerchiefs and ate your kitten, please share them. If you have any glowing praises about how a Vaio laptop rescued your neighbor's children from a burning building, please share them! You can also share if you want to tell me that Totally Random Computers makes a wonderful laptop that actually runs, has decent battery life, and doesn't burst into flames like my HP laptop did.

Just don't tell me about Macs.

I am of course telling you to go for a Vaio because I and everyone I know who has one has loved it. They're reliable, sturdy computers. Your link up there goes to the S series models which are more pricy, but it looks like the FJ or FS series would be nice, too, and they're a bit less expensive. As a note, the FJ series come in the most awesome colors ever.

The Sony website gives you the option to build your own computer, so it wouldn't be too hard to get something that'll do what you want and still stay withing your price range, plus if you buy today, shipping is free and you can trade in whatever your old computer is for credit. Pretty sweet deal.

But sales tax holiday. D: Also, I'm really indecisive. XD I'll probably angst about this until Sunday at the least!

The FJs are adorable. XD And solid computers too. *ponders*

Well, the trade in thing is an ongoing deal, so it's not like you'll miss out on that. From getting my wireless router, I've seen some okay premade Vaios at places like Best Buy and CompUSA, but if you can manage to wait the few extra days, I'd really recommend custom making yours in the website.

Also, the FJs are clearly the computers that should take over the world because come on! Pink! Green! BLUE! ♥
