I’m using ANOTHER new Sony Vaio Touchscreen Ultrabook. My third.\n<\/p>\n
Bought my first the day that Windows 8 came out \u2013 and yes, I know. But I’d been waiting for a new, expensive (for me) computer for months, and I’d always wanted a Sony. They haven’t done a good job with this model.\n<\/p>\n
The Friday before New Year’s, the screen on the first one broke. Nice hairline crack and the touch screen stopped working.\n<\/p>\n
Microsoft treated as if it was user damage, though I didn’t drop it. Theory is that I carried it by holding it by the screen \u2013 not sure about that \u2026\n<\/p>\n
Anyway, Sunday, I was using the second one, doing normal laptop stuff and the hinge cover fell off. After dealing with everything I did before, I was not putting up with that, especially since the screen did go off at one point.\n<\/p>\n
So back to the Frisco Microsoft store I go. They were great, did it was a manufacturer return, and I left with this, a shiny new Sony Vaio laptop. Frankly I’d rather have the ASUS they have for sale (oh, I do have an ASUS but not that one), but there you go.\n<\/p>\n
Restoring was the easiest. I have been keeping some of my normal software on an external hard drive, saving me from having to download. I’ve also been keeping most of my development stuff on Virtual Machines. However, I had a real issue with installing Office 2013, which I’ll do another blog post, as it will save me from problems in the future and maybe even the next guy.\n<\/p>\n
