    I'm looking for a Z12 or Z13 series with the 1080p screen, refurb or used is fine but so far my struggle has been even finding the appropriate search terms to search the web/craig's list and eBay.

    What can I expect to get it for and what search terms do you think I can use to actually find myself one with the 1080p screen?

    Goto sony outlet (just google for it) and search for either VPCZ1290X or VPCZ1390X.

    Cheapest 1080p refurb Z13 is about $1650 now.

    Cheapest 1080p refurb Z12 is about $1469.95.

    I just checked the outlet, http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCatalog?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10551&Ntk=&Ntx=&Ntt=&N=4294961692&searchType=outlet&contentType=PRODUCT&No=&Nao=&rpp=15&Ns=Prod.Price.SS|1&Nf=&productFilter=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&navigation= , and believe it or not, the Z13 with 1080p and 256GB SSD is selling for $2,279.95! Didn't check for one with only 128GB SSD, but that price, for a refurb, seems outlandish - though it makes me perfectly happy, as I have a better one to sell :D.

    (Sorry, for some reason I can't get the link to print as a hyperlink??)

    EDIT: Upon further searching, I can confirm the prices previously cited for Z12 and Z13 with 1080p and 128GB.
