I have a sony vaio and also hate it. I put a hp dual layer dvd burner in it and had a few problems at first. It does not like nero (or my vaio does not like it, not sure which) and I have to burn at the speed the disc is labled. Which seems logical, but CDs don't work that way. Anyway, I made a few coasters before I figured it out. Never had any problems with a certain brand of media though.
