Watch while I gag myself!
Megan McArdle does not think that Sony VAIO customer service is doing a very good job. She's being fairly polite; others with similar problems have used the "s-ck" word to describe their plight. But I am determined to improve this blog's rating, so I will not say that Sony VAIO customer service behaves in a manner more befitting a Hoover vacuum cleaner. Plus, I don't have a VAIO; my regular laptop is a Dell I bought used and out of warranty, which means I have no customer service, and thus no way to compare the quality of service given to Megan McArdle to mine. I'm glad to link her post, though (which I saw at Instapundit), and I hope Sony realizes that I bent over backwards not to say what I could easily have said. They'd better be grateful! On the serious side, it's a shame that their customer service is so awful, though, because I am familiar with the product, as two close friend own VAIOs and they like them. Sony needs to remember that customer service is part of what people buy. UPDATE: Sean Kinsell (who lives in Japan) does not think Sony's customer service there is especially bad, although he notes that Sony products have a special reputation for breaking down: ....I don't know that Sony customer service is considered all that bad here; it's just that everyone knows Sony products break down quickly. Hence the expression ソニー時間 (soni jikan: "Sony time"), which is...well, the (unusually low) amount of time it takes your Sony gizmo to conk out. A friend told me the expression started with an urban legend saying that Sony actually rigged its products to break down after a certain period of time, though I don't know that there's any way to verify that.I've been quite content with the Dell laptops I've owned, and nothing I've read about Sonys inclines me to switch. posted by Eric on 07.07.07 at 03:19 PM

Ãèäðîóñèëèòåëü Ëåãêîñïëàâíûå äèñêè Ïðèâåò · July 7, 2007 06:22 PM Sony's Vaio's look so damn sexy. They're all thin and now colorful. They are the nicest-looking PC notebooks around. Dell has some nice, thin notebooks of their own. They don't look as slick as Sony's. I might have to wander over to Dell's site to see what some refurbished ones are going for. Sean Hackbarth · July 8, 2007 05:32 PM Hey Sean! I have a Dell 700M with a Centrino CPU and I have been delighted with it. It compares favorably with my friend's Sony VAIO. It's fast, slick, compact, and always does what I want. I've never had a better travel laptop -- and traveling is what laptops are for. They're quite affordable on ebay. Eric Scheie · July 8, 2007 09:34 PM Eric, Thanks for the link! A commenter at my place tells me that the original expression is actually "Sony timer," for the device that supposedly trips your Sony machine to self-destruct right after the warranty expires. Much catchier than the version I've always heard. I still love my Toshiba Dynabook. Sean Sean Kinsell · July 9, 2007 12:01 AM Post a comment
