I’ve always been a fan of Sony products, and this has been my first laptop for the past 14 years. Now, I’m thinking of switching to a MacBook. I really love Sony, and it’s such a pity they stopped making laptops. I believe if they had kept going, they could’ve been a serious competitor to Apple.

As with desktops, the future of most versatile notebooks, especially in territories like yours, seems to me to be modular:

Maybe I'll explore a laptop like that out of curiosity someday. But right now, I need one that's reliable and great for design work.

I recommend going with functional requirements instead of sticking to particular apps. Like with Nostr, newer developments can often provide familiar functionality more efficiently and sensibly.

Finding new workflows can take some trial and error though.

After buying new laptop, I want to learn Linux on Sony laptop and do other things like running Bitcoin node

In most regions it's not available yet anyway, including mine, but it will be.

You can see that #Apple gear is becoming mass #surveillance kit, including in "democratic " 😂 and "free"😂 territories, such as #UK.

I also use Apple devices, but only for certain things.😉

So, be careful!🙏😇

I had that laptop at some point. Mine got extremely slow and I had to ditch it. This was many years ago.

Which brands do you use now? I’d like to hear about your experience with a new laptop.

I don’t use laptops much. I have an m2 MacBook but I have only used it once or twice

I had a similar Vaio at the time. I switched to a MacBook running Windows when they added BootCamp and gradually began using more apps on OS X. Sony would have had to start developing an OS too, the hardware software integration matters.

Which model of MacBooks do you use?

SONY was king of analog, Apple is king of digital. Get a MacBook, you 99% won't regret it.
