If you were living in States, I would say go with Dell. THey have great support!
But since you will be out of country - I would go with a Sony. If you are going to Japan, I would buy one there.

The problem with buying one "in Japan" is that it's based on Japanese, i.e. the OS is in Japanese, the power supply is based on Japan, etc.
Buying one in the BX (they had HP and Dell the time I was there) makes more sense because you are buying one with an English OS that works on the American electrical current that runs through the base
Since he will have an APO, shipping is the exact same price as shipping to the states so that won't be a problem if he goes with Dell. Heck, when his hard drive was whacked out of the box, even though they offered inhouse repair, we knew it would take awhile before they actually MADE it our house and and just had them ship a new one - we're used to being off the beaten path
I still think he needs to get a desktop...........
