    I bought a new VAIO Z21M9E recently in UK, 800pound with dock station. I find something interesting about the dock station(VGP-PRZ20).
    According to the label on the dock station, it was manufactured in Nov. 2011, the strange thing is that the dock station's label is written in English and Russian. For example, there is a sentence Сделано в Японии above "made in japan". I think this machine is supposed to sell in UK, it should have and only have English character.
    Anyone has the same situation? Or mime is a refurbished machine from Russia? but all the seals and packages are intact.very weird.
    Is there a way to check how long the SSD has been working or powered up? All usual software failed to do so, like SSDLIFE, hd tune pro, very weird.
    Finally, can anyone tell me where is the sim card slot on Z21?

    You should be able to check SSD's power on hours with CrystalDiskInfo.
