    Hi all,
    I'm just about to order a Vaio SZ650N from US...well not directly since it's not possible due to "warranty" restrictions. I have to get a friend who is overseas to buy it for me or us services like myus.com to ship it.

    In Sweden the Vaio's costs more than twice as much as in US/Japan and that's just stupid!

    I know I have to buy an extra ac adapter but is there anything else I have to do/know/check? What about the warranty, can I buy an extra overseas warranty to make it cover Sweden?

    Why not directly? I ordered from Techonweb.com they ship to Netherlands (I don't recommend them because they are so slow!). Just keep in mind for EU you have to pay 19% VAT.

    If you buy from CompUSA.com you can buy international warranty. Otherwise you can not get int.war. from US Vaio's.

    You can get int.war. on Japan imported SZ. Ask Conics.net
