Ouch. The Sony logo is expensive (relatively to other laptops with similar specification).

Sony never fails to produce eye cathcing yet professional designed laptops. Pero for the price, I was hoping for a Blu-ray drive man lang. :(

The Vaio line strikes again with its unjustifiable price.

with Sony products, you are paying for the name and not for the unit. madami naman magagandang laptops and much cheaper than Sony. sa ganung pruice, makaka-dalawa or tatlo ka na sa ibang brand. kahit Sony yan or Apple madali lang yan masisisra kapag burara ang gumagamit. hindi sa brand name nakikita ang durability, nasa taong gagamit ang durability.

Don’t mention Apple in that statement. It’s a sensitive topic even if it makes sense (I have nothing against Apple, pero, well…)
