I don’t know what SONY products you bought, but their cameras have Zeiss lenses that are second to none, you cannot buy a better PCM or audio recorder than SONY makes for any amount of money, and the SONY MP3 player I bought eight years ago still works perfectly and has outlived two iPods in the meantime. I have no problem buying SONY.
Sony Vaio, 21”, All-in-One computer.
Motherboard died after only 18 months.
Warranty was 12 months.
I don’t buy extended warranties,as the products need to stand on their own, or you’re simply paying a 25% premium for inferior products.
