Should private schools use expensive sony laptops

Does anyone on the forum feel that a private school owner could recommend sony laptops for students due to the higher price than lower cost equivalents.

I think recommending VAIO to any one is a good idea even to schools, what i wouldnt agree with is if they were only offered as the only option for them to get. There is a great advantage to having a VAIO as i do alot of Media, Entertainment & currently Web Building i wouldn't have anything else on the plus side if comes with alot of software & tools which are needed, So yes to recommend it to them is not a bad idea

Don't see any problem with that, but if you feel a DeLL would be better then you should recomend them.

It's all a matter of taste.

Agree with Kee-Lo

In some cases I also think it depends on what they are studying

Yes in general Vaio laptops are good

Some people complain about all the software Sony preinstall but if they don't need them, all they need to do is just uninstall.

I think they should have to use the most expensive laptops possible.

Money doesn't always mean the best Andy, some 799 laptops beat some of the 999 laptops

Not just private schools should use sony laptops. i think all should, and therefor avoid a lot of technical problems and slow computers. Vaio should be recommended to evryone.

Ah but you could even set your own "Building a computer Workshop" many should agree with me when you have the knowledge to build you appreciate them far more not to mention i can build a close enough Spec to the new DELL XPS cooling thing for only half the price not to mention the little extras you can add.

Your privileged pupils will obviously expect the best. Whether this will instil an appreciation for the product in hand is debatable. I suggest an abacus

Didn't HP and Compaq merge?

Re: Should private schools use expensive sony laptops

apierc1 — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 15:07:25 GMT

Well HP bought Compaq, hence why I said they are the same, Compac is basically the high end HP well thats the theory.

Imagine being at school and all your mates have a Vaio and you have a PC world E-machine, even if they are both as capable you would end up crying in the toilets!

Hmm that's a bit materialistic really, as long as the PC worked as expected does it really matter if it's an Acer or a VAIO?

Its different being at school though, personally I want to build my own pc after uni, but at schools if you are the odd one out your a target.
