detritus, about switching from Dell to Sony: I know exactly an opposite story. I friend of mine runs a business and has equipped everybody with giant Vaios AW series. 18" screen, blah blah. They gave up in 2 years and switched to Dell (dunno exactly which series). And they love it.
On the other hand, the company I work for is equipped with Vaios only and everything seems to work fine. I am typing this on a TX-series, 13" tiny notebook, which I basically use for browsing the web (and it hurts my eyes!) and the thing is slowly but steadily giving up. I don'T know if this is a WinXP problem or a hardware problem.
For a short time I had considered Dell Adamo, but then it is way too expensive for what it offers and requires a lot of external stuff to be carried around. wtf?
My choices of the moment are VAIO BZ series or FW series (which both seem to be running out), Dell Studio XPS 16 and MacBook Pro 15". No Toshiba, HP or even ThinkPad come close in looks and weight, though the latter seems to be very robust and performing.
