A continuing problem with Vaio notebooks

There is a continuing problem, very worrying problem, with Vaio notebooks. The Video chip sets are still dying.
I have just had my VGN-AR21S video chip go wrong. It is only 2 years old. This is the 4th Vaio Notebook to suffer from the same problem.
I cannot afford to keep buying Vaio computers.
Between £1500 and £2000 every 2 years is just too much to waste.
My 2 year warranty expired last week.
I even had Sony in Japan service the thing 6 months ago after both internal hard drives failed.
If the idea of buying Sony Vaio appears in your head then try to ignore it. Never buy one of this companies computers again.
Save your money and buy something else.

BUY SOMETHING ELSE AND SAVE YOUR MONEY.

My Vaio is about 15 months old. I sent it back to Sony on Monday and it was returned to me on Friday morning. 2 new hard drives and a new Ultimate install.
Good job I took out the extended cover (I always do with laptops).
Very impressed with the turnaround! Wouldn't have enjoyed paying for it though having paid nearly 2 grand for it just over a year ago!
