Sony Laptops

[quartet-man]

We are getting a laptop computer at church to use with projection software. The person who is helping us get set up for it recommended this as being one that would work. I did notice that Office is only a trial, but the projection software we would probably be using is Media Shout, so I am not sure if we would have to have Power Point on this one or not.

I was curious if anyone has anything positive or negative to say about this particular one, or Sony in general. Thanks.

The specs on that laptop are plenty suited for Office. I would take a look at laptops from Dell. Sony's are fine machines, but you can get a similar system for much less money. The E1505 series is popular and can be found for under $1000.

Most laptops are preloaded with a lot of crap, but Sonys are about the worst in those respects. I concur with the Dell recommendation.

Thanks guys. I got a dell desktop at church, but the person in charge of the committee is exremely Anti Dell. The fact they recalled the batteries gives her something more to work with. Would a Gateway be close too, or is Dell the best? Thanks.

I'd skip over Gateway. Dell is the best for performance per dollar ratio. You could take a look at Toshiba and IBM/Lenovo, but those are not cheap. HP's are decent. You could also take a look at Acers on Newegg.
