This deal is pretty compelling. Thanks Cin!
-
Pretty decent specs for the price. Hope to see more i5 laptops and more deals!
-
Damn I have the first generation CW but I'm thinking about jumping on this and selling the old one
-
Even after all the tax, shipping, and other payments, this is still a solid deal. I can't wait to get my bestbuy gift card from my cc reward program
If you like taking risks, you can also buy gift cards from ebay. Notice I said IF you like TAKING RISKS.

Sony Vaio prices have simply collapsed over the last 14 months.
a $900 Vaio? with newish hardware in it? Unthinkable in 2008. now the standard. -
Did you end up with this?
Cin... -
Well the problem is I REALLY don't need it. And I just dropped nearly $4k on something else so another $900 isn't such a hot idea.
I really hate the resolution on mine though...but then I don't like that the new CW comes with an Atheros wifi card. I don't know I think I'm just gonna stick with mine. -
Looks like a good deal, great find, Cin! -

Seems like it is not applicable anymore, or am I doing something wrong? I will buy this for certain.
EDIT:
well, too late. It's expected to come early next month. I hope they will package it properly... unlike some stories I heard :<
