last month a relative wanted to purchase a new laptop. after a couple of days looking at brochures and browsing online, she decided on getting an n-series vaio. we went to pc corner gilmore after confirming they they had one in-stock. when we were about to purchase the unit, the salesrep dissuaded us from getting the vaio claiming that they, along with other laptop shops, were about to discontinue product support soon. so we ended up getting a yonah based asus subcompact instead. i hope what the rep said was only an unsubstantiated rumor and the local pc shops aren't really going to discontinue support for vaio.
