Don't buy a Sony
This is off-topic, in that it's not Debian-specific, but it's relevant
to people wondering what kind of laptop they should get. I've had
good experience with Debian on my Sony VAIO, until now.
The hardware broke, it's a US model, I'm in the UK, and Sony's
international support really really sucks. So, if you're sure you'll
never leave the continent you buy it on, go ahead and get a Sony. But
if you want to be able to travel with it, I'd suggest going with a
more international company.
For details of how they suck, read my web page.

Apologies for this somewhat off-topic ranting. I'm cranky from having
to use clunky old Solaris machines instead of Debian.
