scottjpalmer: The "bang for the buck" of the TZ series is the size, weight, classiness, build quality and battery life.
This will sort out the XP drivers issue should this path be followed.

wodger: Yeah.. i think the weight of it was important to him. He's quite a difficult customer. We certainly don't want to recommend something and then have him unhappy with it. If the Sony doesn't satisfy him, he only has himself to blame.

I have a SZ Sony Laptop similar to this one: http://www.sony.co.nz/vaio/product/vaio-by-price/notebook-panel-pc/vgnsz58gnc.jsp.
All I can say is while they are more expensive, I do believe they are worth it, a very good product, I haven’t had any real problems with it and it's very light. I have had a Toshiba before this one and a Compaq before that and I have to say the Sony is a big improvement (and so it should be).
As for Vista, I recommend it fully. I find when ever Microsoft release a new version of Windows, all these people who think they know it all, play the stability card, while over time it all falls over and goes away. Everyone said 98SE was more stable than ME or XP, but hardly anyone uses 98SE now. Vista takes a bit of getting use to, but I wouldn't go back.

wodger: 99.9% of our clients use XP - we'll go there with vista as and when we have to. He has made the decision to downgrade it and is so particular about things that we really don't want to offer him something that we aren't completely able to support. So, his decision suits us. He also uses dragon dictation alot, so I'm not sure about compatibility and performance with that app under vista.
Cheers
scottjpalmer: As mentioned above Snaffta, the TZ series is purchased for it's size, weight, battery life and social status, not for it's performance.
