This is for $1499 USD and they have free 2 day shipping... I wish I was living in US.... too bad I live in Canada so I have to pay for FedEx, but still a good deal.
Has anyone gotten a Sony notebook from Portable One before? Perhaps asking this question in the Portable One forum would be a smarter idea?![]()

I've gotten a Fujitsu notebook from Portable One, and it was quick and service was really well. I ended up returning it, but there was very little hassle!
I'm considering an SZ from them because the price is just too good, and after emailing them, seems like P1 will put up more configuration options for the $1449 model! meaning, its possible to get it for even cheaper! -
That's awesome.
If you click on the machine between that, it says Intel Core Duo 3I'm not sure if that's a typo or something else.
I think I will stick with the 5400 harddrive because 7200 would generate more heat and that's bad for the 13.3'' notebook
But I probably will get the 1 dimm 1gig ram just because that's better for upgrading later. -
i ordered my sz150p from portableone a couple months ago.. there's not a single bad thing i can say about them. great customer service, fast shipping, and a great laptop
-
same here. Ordered a SZ150p with a 100GB/7200RPM hard drive upgrade and 2GB ram upgrade... great customer service and i paid less in duties than i would have in taxes here in Canada.
-
do you pay tax buying from prtable one?
-
if you're buying from Canada, then no, there's no tax. You will probably have to pay duty, but i ended up only having to pay about 7% or so... probably GST.
Buying SZ from Portable One?
