    Hardly a good deal on the Z, the 1290 is the same price configured the same way.

    You have to apply the VAIO200 coupon at the check out to get the $200 off. Otherwise it shows you the regular price.

    How brief was the sale? I think it was a pricing error

    It actually showed Red tagged pricing which said "On Sale". They were out of stock really quick.

    It is for me too, but Z122GX/B is a black model, not silver. Just look at the last letter. They don't even make a Z122GX/S as far as I know.

    Ridiculous if true. I paid CAD$1900 for my Z122GX/B from Future Shop (they took $100 off). I know someone who works at Sony who can get it for CAD$1700.

    I'd keep this laptop for sure if I could pay only $1300 for it. ;D
