You know, my experiences differ. I've been satisfied with Sony hardware all the time but had problems with their support. For example, I tried to get a Clié Cradle last year in August. No success.
I had to ask an online-friend from Japan to send it over to me to get one. But the hardware is first class, be it my Vaio Notebook, Clié Handheld, Playstation 1 / 2 consoles or my television.
Then there's my iMac, the bondi-blue one. An affordable Macintosh at last? Well, kind of. Still expensive, but with little memory. The 64 MB RAM weren't too much even back in 1998. And think about the small mouse, the small harddisk, the loud fan, no truecolor support at 1024x768... Ugh.
If it only worked... My iMac never really worked flawlessly. Later on, it even denied to be turned on at all. Repairing/upgrading it costed me more than a new Mini Mac (which appeared a month or two after I've got it from repair). Still, it's able to run MacOSX now. And MacOSX is pretty cool.
So... Sony and Apple. Both have their weak and strong points.
