Vaio

I'm amazed at how effective Vaio's marketing strategy is. However i feel that their most useful avenue is the Singapore Business Tonight. Because of that, Vaio is viewed as 'the business laptop' and sales for Vaio just flows easily. One who has worked in a laptop showroom will be able to tell you that.

Would you buy a Kohjinsha?

The new kohjinsha SX and SC series is out. Read about the functions here.


Kohjinsha's features are very impressive for their price. I have one, having been enticed by its small size which packs a punch with features like touchscreen, swivel screen and the like.


I had sent my Kohjinsha there once, and it took about 1-2 weeks for them to just factory restore it. (I didn't know that Kohji had a factory default restore function yet) Even though it was during my holidays, not having my only functional PC to use was dreadfully painful. Imagine if it happened during school time.


After this experience, I do not think I will purchase another Kohjinsha. I have realised that I do not actually use the touchscreen function very often, which is the main draw of Kohjinsha as compared to other netbooks. I had initially thought I would use the touchscreen function often for photoshop, but it's not very good and an extended wacom pad would be much better.


If I were to purchase another notebook, it wouldn't be Kohjinsha anytime soon. The lack of IT support is appaling, so is its reliability.
