Xerxes Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hey guys. I need a laptop and like the bigger screen and better price on this Vaio more than the macbook: Link to Vaio at Best Buy I read that ethernet and sound sometimes doesn't work. Is there a sure way to get ethernet and sound to work on it if I run osx86 on it or would this be a risky buy? Thank you.

Dr. Hurt Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Why not buy a mac book instead? It 100% compatible and for the same price and has better options (except for the screen size). It also supports windows (and maybe linux in the future).

mifki Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Meh, get the MacBook, much better idea, better futureproofing as well. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27270-will-this-vaio-work/#findComment-185816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osaic Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 AFAIK Sony Vaio notebooks are not much cheeper. I think you should get a Mac Book (Pro) from Apple, so that you have full compatibly with OS X and as an alternative Windows.

asap18 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 wireless will not work, you will need to get a extra minipci dell truemobile thing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27270-will-this-vaio-work/#findComment-185861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 The way I see it.. I could get this much more without paying anymore if I go with the Vaio though: 512mb more ram 2 more inches of screen size 40bg more hard drive space Don't get me wrong.. I would love to get a MacBook and I know it would be better, but I only have around $1100 to spend. Do you think ethernet or sound would be an issue if I did in fact get the Vaio? wireless will not work, you will need to get a extra minipci dell truemobile thing So basically I can spend an extra $20-$30 for internet to work? .. and this dell device will work on the Vaio?
