I had a Vaio VGN-Z70B. You can somehow run linux on it but its a pure pain. On another note, I strongly suggest against Sony. Some things I experienced:

- Severe quality problems (broken cdrom plastic part on the side, white pixels screen, discoloring and wearout of plastic)

- Broke down completely once in the guarantee time, exchanged it freely but with penalty ( I had to get my data of the disk, but guess what, you can't access the disk easily you have to take apart the whole laptop for that. Putting it together was no problem, but they noticed you did that and thus let you pay penalty.)

- Broke down now again, probably again something with the power supply. No guarantee this time.

Don't buy Sony.

The problem with anecdotal evidence is that it makes you under the impression that you know something. If it were as harmless as it were useless, there would be no problem.

Sure you are right, it's anecdotal and subjective. If you think nothing of it, please go ahead and try Sony.

Getting so many problems in such a short time despite a costly service repair didn't really make my day. Now the machine is a brick and under no guarantee.
