The problem with Sony is that their stuff gets obsoleted rather quickly, and support for older models is poor.


Yeah, Sony does tend to discontinue models quite quickly. But the difference in specs of my S150 are not all that different from the current model.

Thing is all the other brands I've bought, died before they had a chance to be obsolete. The Sony's are still running. One had it's PCMCIA socket smashed off the motherboard. I removed all the bits and except for that not working, it still runs fine. My neice uses it around the house for web browsing.

In terms of support, I'm curious what is it about Sony's support for older models that you find a problem? Repair? Parts? Driver updates?

Edit: I kind of think obsolete and Laptop are redundant. I don't think I've seen one that wasn't obsolete, in some aspect, within days of their debut.
