Erm... This is what we could see as brand power. As we know, Sony has its reputation good in the electronic field. Therefore, its product is always having good quality compare to others. Not to say other not good. This can be see in Apple also, as you can see the spec of apple macbook and ipod not really that superb also but the price is ridiculous. However, there are some consumer who like and believe in brand for its reputation. Of course, you have to pay for the brand also instead of the parts. However, its still up to you to choose which is the best that suits your budget and needs. As for myself, I choose Dell bcso it provides me with the customizeable spec which I could add in graphic card as I like. This couldn't be done in other brand. Besides that, they also provide me with the price within my budget. So, what you need to do is, think again of your budget and needs. If you have a budget thats high enough for a sony and you like to own a "BRANDED" laptop,then go for it. If you are looking for one which is worth for money, I would say, DEll will be a good choice. If you need help to decide which laptop is best for you, tel me your budget. Besides that, Dell provide better service as all dell warranty is onsite while sony is carry in(onsite need to pay extra to upgrade). kianchun555.

in my opinion, the only great thing about FZ35g is the nice and bright 15.4" lcd screen which is using technology borrowed from bravia. but the 8400M GT graphics its using is not on par with 8600M GT on Dell models at the same price. if youre not a gamer then i think its not an issue. but if you really want this FZ35g, pls do consider CR35g too.  if you like a shiny and glossy design, and prefer smaller lcd screen then i say go for CR35g instead. CR35g selling for RM4288 now and FZ35g selling for RM4988(including free 2gb ram upgrade). tough choice actually
