I have bought Sony products quite often over the years. Why? Because they make consistently high quality hardware that last. But they do not make it easy. I would love for them to make it as easy as Apple but they don't. Great hardware but lousy eco-system and software. Take my Sony Vaio Z that I am typing this post on. It is a premium laptop that out performs any other ultra portable on the market (looking at you "Air") but costs a fortune (so much so that most review websites don't even carry it as a comparitor because it isn't mainstream). And yet when I bought it I still had to spend 5 or 6 hours hunting drivers and doing a clean install of the OS (W7) to get the maximum performance out of the machine. I spent the whole time mumbling that I should have bought the bloody apple machine as it would have been easier........
