Hey guys, kind of urgently need feedback on the Sony ownership experience. I've almost finalised on finally taking the plunge and picking up a VAIO E Series laptop - specifically the SVE15128CN model for my wife who's going to be the major user.

It's important i know what I'm in for because there's nothing significant that I've ever bought from Sony .. ever.. and this would be my 1st initiation to the brand - it's quality, reliability and service - all which go in to the ownership experience.
Since this is my first laptop purchase for personal use ever (yup.. have been on a desktop from the start).. I just wanted some quick feedback on the Sony ownership experience.
I've heard the common "overpriced" and "snobby" attitude of Sony's support and repair experiences so I just wanted to be sure before I put my money down on a VAIO. Especially on the warranty/repair aspects. I'm making a pretty big leap here since my intended ownership timeframe is 3-4 years at least and I need to be sure I'm not gonna be sucked into a wormhole as far as warranty/repair support goes since we all know you can't do much with a laptop if it starts to give up on you part by part.
My alternate choice was the Lenovo Z580 in the core i5 config.. the only drawback being the weight and lack of backlit keys.
Since I know we have quite a few Sony fans and owners here.. any tips, suggestions and feedback would be sincerely appreciated for helping me make the best choice!
Thanks
