    If you hurry, you can buy a brand spanking new SZ110 at Office Depot for a freakishly good price of $1099.01 (tax not included). Its on clearance and almost gone. I had to drive 40 miles to get mine.

    Oh and get a free printer while your at it :)

    Thanks

    Both. I was not aware that there are SZ models that only come with one.

    What is the office depot item number/sku? It should be somewhere on your receipt. I called my local office depot and they couldn't find the sz in their database.

    The SKU is 637775. You need to make sure your searching store inventories because they didnt update the online price. It took me awhile to figure that out.

    I gurantee you, the deal is very real

    to view local store inventories, you need to click on view cart, then pick up at store. Select the store you wanna look at, and there will be the real price.
    Like I said, you gotta hurry! I dont expect any more to exist in Office Depot by the end of this day.

    I've called ten different stores covering most of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties and all the stores are out. Also, when I tried to add it to the cart it said that the item is now discountiued. Too bad...that is (was) an awesome deal!

    I just kept looking. I'd look all over the country and just get it shipped to you. I found mine in Poughkeepsie NY and it was the last one :)

    I'd look in places that are more rural or poorer.

    edit: I love Meteo, thanks for the heads up.

    If anyone got in on this deal and didn't get a floor model, they were very lucky. There is still a flr mdl remaining at Manchester, CT, for $999, I think, but I wouldn't pay that for a floor model (just me). I checked inventory at 50-60 stores. No luck.

    ****, mine turned out to be a floor model too. The woman searched everywhere for a new one with no luck. Oh well, I guess I'll buy the T60 with EPP instead.

    I found a few, they're in the midwest though. I'm seeing if my localish store can transfer it there. If you look in weird states you can still find some.

    A SZ for $1099? Can anyone post a scanned copy of your receipt? I think they might be all sold out, but for that price I would have purchased one!

    I was lucky enough to get a new sealed one. It may be really hard to find in major cities. You gotta go out a bit. This deal is kinda old now.

    Also usually they give you a 10% for display models. You might have to ask

    Ok I added a picture of my recipt using the sz camera. worked out pretty well.

    Yeah, those money mongorers piss me off. I see some auctions that have 5 available. I wonder where they got those from. But hey, thats capitalism for ya.

    The sale ends whenever they run out, which is already the case for big cities

    You can get them to transfer products in between stores, no? So just have them scan the whole nation for this product and then have it shipped to your nearest Office Depot.......I am going to try and get that done tommorow.

    Wow, so these are still out there... Thats good to know. Now are you from Conway, AR, or near there at least? Or are you having it shipped to you, or your local Office Depot. And is the price still $1099?

    I live in GA, but I was originally from Conway. I knew they were a small town with an Office Depot so I figured I would give them a call. I decided not to get it because I don't really want a Sony, even though its an amazing deal. I talked to the manager though and he can work something out where you use the pick up in store option and he can ship it to you from the store.

    If anybody is interested I would atleast give them a call. They might be out by now though.

    I found another one in GA! Score. Thanks for the tip, it's being shipped to my local store. Even if you don't want it you should just buy it and sell it on e-bay. Easy 200-300. I'm keeping mine for school though.

    Why does it still ring up for $1899.99 after you add it to the cart?

    EDIT: I just read through the thread again, my bad.

    This is amazing...I just checked and they have these near the Bston area. Can anyone explain what the numbers after the SZ mean? I'm a lifelong Thinkpad user, about to plunge into a Dell d620 ($1200)...but these SZ's seem amazing...
    and for this price!
