...how to move it- please do that for me. Do not get confused the model I am talking about is - SonyVAIO K215B (PCG-K215B) PC Notebook.

...things that put me off these were
1. THE PRICE as they seemed to be about 50% more expensive than the PC equivalents.
2. THE LAYOUT Apple Macintosh computers have a different keyboard layout as well as a different Operating System (i.e. they do not use windows).
After I expressed my above concerns and expressed what I would be using the laptop for, I was directed to both the Sony and Samsung range.

I finally managed to get through, and I was told I would need to be transfered to another support personal, as they were new, then I was sent to tech support and then back around again - again, useless.
Overall, I am impressed with the laptop. I have had a few problems with it, that were solved by re-installing windows. Non-Sony...
