Just checked Amazon and I ordered a Z520N/B Monday for $1629. Now it is at $1999 plus it says "This item has not yet been released". WTH??
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0.../ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1221283879&sr=1-1
My order has shippedI wonder if I pulled a fast one and caught Amazon sleeping on a misprinted price!
Bestbuy, J&R, etc all sell the same Z520 for $1999 so maybe I got lucky....

nope - you got a good deal - checkout the aggregator sites:

I guess I did
I missed out on the Lenovo pricing error (when the 128GB SSD was a $0 upgrade). I guess I got lucky on this one.
Still can't figure out why it states the Z520 is a pre-order item... Maybe they ran out of stock? -
What resolution is this model?
-
1366x768.
That res doesn't bother me. It would be nice to have the 1600x900 but not for the price Sony wants for the Z590! -

Thats awesome price for the specs and how much it would cost if you directly bought it from Sonystyle!!
Congrats! thats the cheapest for the spec I have seen it yet! -
I know it - 3GB DDR3, P8400, 250GB HDD (I'll probably swap it with a 7200RPM seagate that I have laying around)....

yah, amazon pricing changes rapidly... got my z550 for $1,690 shipped from amazon. very little difference between 520 and 550. processor only i think...
-
I also didn't want a CTO - I wanted a Z series that was assembled in Japan
I heard the only two models that are assembled in San Diego are the Z540 and Z590. Is this correct? -
yeah it happens all the time on amazon great deal though..

Dont be too quick to judge -
yeah, i missed the Z570 for $2000 3 weeks ago which really bothered me
but now i am happy with the 1600x900 resolution, so im glad i didnt pull the trigger on that one -
I watched the price of a Sony VGN-SZ691N/X change. First it was $2,499 than it dropped to $1,386 and I was wondering if something was wrong with that model so I watched another week or so. Than it dropped to $1,286 and stayed there for 2 days so I bought it. Checking other sites and eBay I started wondering if I should order two or more and sell them on eBay but I didn't have the nuts so I just bought one. 1 day after I received mine at $1,286 the price went back to $2,399. Now it is $2,1xx. I check back often, looking for pricing mistakes.
-
lucky! i wish i could get one at that price
-
congrat on the awesome steal~^ I saw this deal before my order of CTO Z590. I almost pulled the trigger on a z520... heheeee
-
As well with me it jumped back up to 1999.
-
Seems as though amazon is always going through some changes and you can find a deal at certain times as opposed to others.. Seems like you pulled a fast one for the moment but will probably not be the best deal you see for that comp overall..
