Though I recall once emailing Sony USA by accident and got a reply email like, "Umm, we can't help you. Contact Sony Canada (No info on Sony Canada either, but a quick google got me the info) This is for issues with Sony products in the USA. (Purchase in USA not required for grief. :P) So far? 1x mobo replacement (for free I might add save for personal drop off even though they would have sent a box for free to get it fixed) even though I later found out it was my own fault. I also have several aftermarket upgrades within my laptop but they didn't even bother to say anything about it or make an excuse as to trying to get out of the fix. (One was the HDD the other was the ram. Seriously what else can you really upgrade in a laptop? Not to mention I opened upt the damn thing myself, and that's not an issue?) They even cleaned out the whole laptop for free which was a total surprise.  And now, I know that I can get my laptop fixed officially by Sony for a very decent price (which I was prepared to pay due to "Sony horror stories"). Though it was sort of strange to drop off my laptop with no case and no cables (power cord etc.) and receive it back wrapped in saran wrap (even though I went to pick it up myself)

HP on the other hand... puts stickers on everydamnthingthatc anbeopenedorhasascr ewonitandifyoubreak thesealitwillvoidwa rranty... Dunno if the USA is the same for HP products.

Sony isn't bad... if you're not in the USA. I don't know why Sony USA is really douchey (Word?)

But yeah, Sony, you pay for style and in the rare case, function. Mine was function. It had the specs I needed and a weight that no other brand could match even remotely. (Sony vaio SZ series was much lighter and looked a damn lot nicer than the other 13.3" laptops when I bought mine at a price point of $1000 CAD over a year ago) The closest I got was the Toshiba portege which was 200 bucks less, but almost 80% more weight and specs that were lower. (lower grade processor and vid card)

my hp was $1,100 USD. it was the highest grade hp laptop on market at the time :/ (back when 2GB was MAX and 160gb in a laptop was alot) with upgrades this year on ram & cpu. 2.2ghz & 4GB cost an extra 200 :/ now hdd ><" which is $110 (w/ ship)
back in 07. Amazing how fast technology is @ getting better :x The VAIO on the otherhand, was a major mistake on my dads part.
he bought it FULL market price at launch might i add... there HAD to be something over 1.6ghz when that launched atleast... :x its funny though, his pc can handle stuff like CoD and mine cant. o_O

fohfoh:
To a certain extent, it's due to the tech tossed in. While most cpus run around 2.0Ghz... which ones are the real proper "efficient ones"? Mine is a T7200 by which I think the end was T8900 or something like that. Most run T3400(Ranges 400-900 Cad) and "high end" run T6800(Over 1k Cad for quite a few). Centrinos currently sit at around 1100-1600 CAD and T8900 though rare, is around 1500 Cad in the models found.

SUs might have a lower Ghz rating... but they're actually quite smooth to a certain extent.

PC>Laptop.
I seriously can't handle one.Seems to slow,plus I hate that touchy thing.I also hate the monitor.In fact,I hate laptops.
And it's not just Sony that does that.No major company does too much for their clients.
Also,that's the tech market.Pay big sums,be the boss for...1month,then a new model,and you feel the jealousy&rage inside,+shame.

True... the only "win" factor is the portability. Which seems to be a big +
