Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)
1. Why should i choose Sony VAIO while there are a lot of laptops from different brand offer the same/higher specification with cheaper price?
1. Branding. : Yes, have to admit this. any Sony notebook will cost a lil bit expensive than the one with similar specs.
2. Quality. : I have experienced and honestly said that their notebook quality can be qualified from mediocre to elite. I'm satisfied with its built quality, its more sturdy than the Acer i used earlier if i want to compare them. Its always the best to play around with the notebooks at their store. This apply to any product you are going to buy.

- Depends on your needs and preferences. If you just using laptop for lightweight usage like office work and browsing internet, consider the P series because of its total portability.

If you need all in one PC which is good in performance, go for CR or SR. If you need the best performance with video editing function and such, consider FW or AW.
