Yeah they've been going downhill BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 29/09/2010 02:42:33 AM
and making some unwise product choices in addition to their worsening quality.
I've had some issues with my Blu-ray player and HD TV and I'm not as up on Sony these days. I will probably still compare prices and options, though.

Do note that, as Brian and Roland00 mentioned, they no longer make conventional desktop systems where the tower and monitor are separate. They've moved to making all-in-one systems, which may or may not suit you.

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 163 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 360 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 370 Views
HP Pavilion Elite. ≥8GB RAM. 1TB Memory. 1GB video card. They offer about 3-4 models like that. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 11:35:32 PM 162 Views

Doesn't the US have companies that let you pick the parts and then they assemble for a small fee? *NM* Helene - 29/09/2010 06:05:09 AM 151 Views
Most of those options were only $20 - $40 more than the base options Tom - 29/09/2010 01:50:20 PM 373 Views
Here is what I would recommend Roland00 - 30/09/2010 05:36:08 PM 405 Views
It gives me an error if I try to set up that configuration. Tom - 30/09/2010 06:19:34 PM 386 Views
Don't worry about that then Roland00 - 30/09/2010 07:09:30 PM 353 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 390 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 357 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 353 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 384 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 365 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 411 Views

I had no problem running multiple programs for hours at a time. everynametaken - 29/09/2010 07:11:08 AM 403 Views
I am curious what is your model? *NM* Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:15:09 PM 160 Views
It was a C500 I believe. everynametaken - 02/10/2010 01:30:29 AM 367 Views
I like my HP better than my dell. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:14:39 AM 371 Views
Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 153 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 351 Views
But that Dell was the bad computer. *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:37:09 AM 135 Views

Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 367 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 365 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 345 Views

I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 151 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 144 Views
