...Sony ain't what they used to be...
I think that's also true.
While looking at netbooks recently, I saw a Sony Vaio for about £310 - only £30 more than an equivalent spec Samsung.
At one time Vaios were nearly twice the price of anything else.
I was tempted - it had a better keyboard than the Samsung - but the quoted battery life was only four hours.
Apple seem to be the one brand which can still command a healthy premium over similar spec good from competitors.
Their laptops start at about £700, and I think my 16gb iPod Nano was £120 - you can get a decent make 16gb MP3 player for £70.
I know which I'd rather have.
I'd rather have an Apple laptop, too, if money was no object.
