Q: Ok. I bought a sony vaio about a year and a half ago (not my idea. I tried to talk my dad into an hp which was much better for the same price, but noo..) UGH why don't parents ever listen :( anyway, it crashed 3 times, had corrupt software and was ass slow as hell (i mean slow.) Now we put two gigs of ram in it and it is still not that fast. the battery only lasts 8 minutes (record time) avg time 4.25 then . minutes). Now my friends and i had an end of the summer party at my house, and my dad got some good video of my friend dumping a bucket of water on my other friends head (very funny) and i wanted to make a movie on windows movie maker with that video and some credits on the end, e mail it to everyone and put it on youtube, but the AWESOME.. sony couldn't open movie maker.... Them i ut the video on a flash drive and downloaded it onto an 8 year old computer running xp pro with 128 megabytes of ram and man that computer is hella fast. You click something, boom it's there. So i made the movie perfectly with no delay, nothing. Why is this, the version of movie maker is the same, but the video card in the 8 year old computer is so much older. it seems that the dell is WAY better that my other comp. WHY is this? oh, the sony also can't play games that the other computer can??? i didn't put like a really good video card in the old one, its the same one we got it with THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! it was $1000
A: It sounds like you got a dud computer. Sony does make really great computers. Dell makes awesome ones too. My advice is, if your computer is still under the warranty, take it back or send it back to Sony and explain the problem to them, and make them fix it or replace it. If your laptop is Not still under warranty, then the only thing you can do is take it elsewhere or send it to Sony and get it repaired if possible. Of course, you will probably have to pay for the repairs. Also, another thing you can do is go to the Better Business Bureau website and explain to them your problem, but do this Only if Sony or wherever you bought it from does not hold up to the warranty's promisies ( if it is still under warranty, that is). Well I hope this helps. I have to say that your question here is much more mature and better than the other dummy questions that I have read and responded to this morning. Great job!!
