Having faced several minor issues with a new Sony laptop, and losing warranty while they could not get me a replacement - I have a better option. Avoid Sony.
Bought a laptop in March last year. Within few days noticed overheating for no apparent reason + flaky keyboard + other issues. They got me a replacement after 2 months. At the time of giving the laptop, they said warranty would be reset- but it was not. In April this year, kept noticing booting issues - went to Sony ASSC who said the laptop is out of warranty.
Having changed 3 laptops in the past, I can say that Sony ASSC is shit. Seriously. Better go with Dell or Lenovo.
