Most manufacturers only offer 1 year and none of the accidental coverage (or very little). Might be worth looking into if more warranty interests you.

i agree 100%
like some aqaurium companies asus is a company that doesn't advetise much in north america, or much at all for that matter, but they are great.
i have played on a few and they are sweet.
everyone i know that has one is happy with it.
now you could look into alienware...but i wont get into that

I currently run:
2 laptops with Windows XP
2 workstations with Windows XP
~20 Servers running Windows 2003 Server
2 Servers running Windows 2000 Server

I have run every O/S that Microsoft has ever run. Except for Windows 2000 Workstation, I have never had an issue. I have never had any BSOD (Blue Screens of Death) except for the Windows 2000 Workstation. I gotta say that was a bad one, but otherwise never had issues.

Currently my main workstation I use is with Windows XP, probably 4-5 years old and never had to reformat and start over.

So I don't know why others complain so much, I can say both PC and Mac are good. I choose PC because you can do more with it and if you are a gamer, PC will be the only way.

Thanks for the input so far guys. Appreciated. I see in todays Future shop flyer the Sony is a $100 off, so $1199. But still, for a $100 less the Mac Book or a $100 more for the Pro. Not sure what the pro advantage is besides the back lit keys and the casing?

Well back lit keys would be nice but it also has the aluminum body and card reader, I don't think it has much else.

Personally I would recommend a Toshiba for PC, I have had 2 HP's, but had nothing but problems with the mouse pad. I can't comment on Sony as I have never had one, but would say stick to companies that specialize in computer design and manufacturing. Sony, IMO, isn't one of them.

Here is a Toshiba of the same price:
