Sony Vaio AW125J/H review

Sony includes an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system, and support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line, an online knowledge base, and driver downloads. Extended warranties are an expensive add-on when purchased direct from Sony. For example, a three-year plan, which includes "Accidental Damage from Handling Protection," costs $349.
