What do you think is a cooler and better laptop, Vaio or Apple.?

Question

Sony Vaio or the Apple Mac or whatever you call it

Answer 1

I got a Mac 2 years ago and will never return to Windows. Everything just works so much simpler and the interface is wonderful. But also, it does depend on what you want to do. The Sony is probably a better gaming computer. If you want to play WoW or something, get that. If you want to design websites and anything else, get the Mac.

Answer 2

Uggg, I hate both. Sony Vaio is way overpriced for what you get, and Apple is just... well... Apple.

I guess it boils down to what you plan to do with it. Macs are known to be better for audio/video work. (Creating, encoding, etc.) But Windows is more versatile than the MacOS. (According to me I guess, I grew up with Windows.)

Look deep, deep inside, and decide what you want to do with the laptop, this will help you choose the one thats right for your better than anyone on here can tell you.

Answer 3

Depends - some Vaios are overpriced.  But all Apples are.

Between my MacBook Pro and my Sony Vaio FW -  the FW is better.

MacBook Pro :

-MagSafe Power adapter burned at connector twice - a known issue - Apple never did a recall

-Computer didn't have a fan that ran fast enough or a case that vented well - my case suffered from heat damage because it got hot enough when playing WoW (with an exterior fan attached) to case the casing to bow outwards.

-Loud fan when it did run high - the computer sounded like an airplane taking off.

-Annoying customer service with people who treated me like an idoit.  And often couldn't figure out the issue.  I had so many problems with the genius bar.

-An operating system (Leopard) with a lot of bugs and weird things that killed off some computer (one kid got nothing but a blue screen and had to completely start over - lost info).  I didn't get it - and updates for Tiger (10.4) stopped coming.

-Bad reaction time to attacks - recently a DNS server attacked all OS - Windows, Apple, Linux - and Apple was two weeks behind the other two in getting the patch out to fix the issue (stealing personal info I belive was what it was doing.)

-A computer that just wasn't worth the $3,00 dollars I paid for it (with Apple Care and Later Upgrade from 1GB to 2GB RAM)

-The OS is nice - it's pretty simple and easy to understand.  But it's not like that's the biggest deal.  It doesn't run my games.  It doesn't run some of my programs...

-Which means I ran it with Boot Camp.  That is a neat feature of OS X - but I hated having to switch back and forth for school stuff.  I had to buy two copies of Office just to make life easier.

-It is a pretty light computer - that's good right?

Sony Vaio FW:

-Good feeling with great ventilation - my computer never gets hot - even when I ran Warhammer Online for a good 6 hours.  It cools itself incredibly well.

-Great screen and resolution.  Lots of room to do my graphic work and photo editing.

-Runs programs incredibly well - really fast.

-I love Vista <3  I can mess with so much - I have a dock like OS X and I have my taskbar/start menu at the top.  I love the Windows Sidebar too - it doesn't take forever to load like Dashboard did on my Mac - and I can keep it running and still see stuff while running other programs.  It's great.  I love all the customization I can do.  And I have had no problems with Vista now that SP1 came out - which is one more reason I purchased this laptop.

-Speakers work and better CD/DVD tray.  It pops out and can read mini discs - hurray!  Macs don't do that.

-It's actually a tad smaller / lighter than my boyfriends 17" MacBook Pro

-I have had no issues.  No viruses.  No slowing down.

I actually like Windows more now that I have switched.  I can control things so much more.  Defraging my hard drive is amazing - it cleans up so much room.  Macs you don't do that - even though when a Mac runs slow and you bring it into the genius bar they will open a program that defrags the HD from their little hard drive - a program that costs money.  They suggest you buy it.  We laughed at them.

I love my Vaio as well.  It is incredibly sturdy and well built.  It has great battery life (oh yeah, my MBP didn't have that either.... batteries lost life real quick).  I wouldn't switch back to Apple computers ever ever again in my life.

Unless Sony started making them - then I may consider ^_^
