@ posts 5,6,7: He said he's looking for a Sony Vizio, which I believe he means a Sony Vaio. There is no need to give other manufacturers and models if he's already decided on the model he wants. If you're not sure, just ask if the OP is willing to look into another manufacturer, model, or operating system, but don't jump into throwing out suggestions without the OP's input.
I don't get it. I know that he said he was seeking for a Sony Vaio, but what the other posters and I were trying to point out was that there are many other great alternatives to the Sony Vaio that may possibly be even better. If you ask for something, would you want only the very specific results you asked for, or would you like that along with similar and possibly better items?

I have that HP DV5 except a lot better spec'd. Typing on it atm

its a good laptop but i would recommend an inspirion 1525 with no fancy stuff. Seriously!!! those laptops are brilliant, there small light and brilliant to use.
Even a Dell mini would be adaquet or an eee-900
I am looking to get a notebook early next year, and I would like taking a look at the Inspirion. I hear that it's a really good home-use notebook, and since I don't do that much hardcore stuff I'll be fine with it.
