Don't be offended, I own one too, and I'm NOT too happy about it.

Sorry to hear that. My experience is the opposite of yours: I just bought a Vaio A270 several days ago after a massive amount of research and trying (and returning) two different Dell i9200 configurations. This particular Vaio is a superbly designed and constructed system. In particular the 17" Xbrite display makes the current Dells look several generations behind. For me, the 15% price premium over the equivalent Dell system is worth it because I need the higher quality display for work.
I posted my purchasing experience in the Dell forum to help others out who may be in the same situation (

With that said, you have to be careful to not put too much stock in the various 'system sux' or 'system is gr8t' posts. Laptop evaluations are highly subjective. Unless people post specific data points to support their opinion it's hard to get an accurate picture.
