I work on their tv's on a daily basis...from a support point of view I am thankful that people buy vizio...keeps me in business...if their computers are anything like their tvs... I will pass
tnaant HA can't imagine why I never owned or recommended a Vizio.
I thought it was a joke when I heard they were going to make laptops. The joke's on whoever buys them.
