    Some of the newer laptops do have problems downgrading from Vista, in that sometimes the parts manufacturers have not bothered writing XP drivers for the devices. That particular model? I don't know.

    Sony lies. Though installing XP on it may be a trick because if I remember correctly it's using a sata disk drive that XP can't detect so you have to create a slipstreamed XP disk with the correct drive loader on it.
