check out packard bell's, asus took over them a couple of years ago and are now producing good stuff. Really happy with mine. Also solved my ground buzz problem that i used to get with a tosheiba. :)

LOLZ!
Just bagged myself a Mac book Pro...for pretty good money:D
Problem solved...hopefully :)
I was planning on buying a high spec vaio (F series I think) when my old laptop was on it's way out. I saved up for a few months to buy it, when my old laptop just completely died. This left me with the choice of being without a laptop for a few months or buying a cheaper one.
I decided to swerve waiting and bought the one I have now. But if my old laptop would have just held on to life for a few months longer I would have bought the vaio
Edit: from reading a few of the responses, it was a good job that I never ended up buying a vaio
A quick look through the tinterweb shows that Vaio's have problems tracking down high DPC spikes ... I'd say go for a Dell, but NOT one with USB3, because it doesn't work with NI hardware, it's hardware specific not driver related ...
A friend bought a "cheap as chips" Toshiba i5, integrated intel graphics etc. nothing fancy and it renders 3D images during the daytime, and mashes Traktor Pro at night. He's had no problems at all.
Im looking to buy a MBP, I found a couple older ones, 2.2/2gig RAM/320hd for around $500-$550 in black, you guys think this will be ok for SSL? All I know is pc and I know nothing of MAC, and cant afford to spend $1300 on a new one.
What's driving your move from PC to Mac?
Stability, all I have is desktops! Just bought SL3 and need a laptop, my Win7 based lappy is an older AMD unit.
