[ILUG] Laptop Recommendation?

[ILUG] Laptop Recommendation?

 >>Sony VAIO PCG-K115S

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX602 running windows and have had the following 
hardware 'issues'

Cheap plastic case has cracked
Internal winmodem due to a design flaw is incapable of achieving any 
speed above 46kps
Battery life is terrible (it is using a desktop processor)
Intermittent  hardware problems when booting, requiring the battery to 
be removed to kill the machine before rebooting.
Sometimes refusing the bios password and powering down when it does it.

Now it is an old laptop well over a year old and maybe they have sorted 
all these things in their current products but I'm glad my company 
bought it and not me.  Having used it I'd never buy or recommend sony 
for laptops.
