    I'm looking to buy a laptop at the moment and this machine seems to have an ideal spec for what I want. Also I've heard that the build quality of Vaios is good

    All the sites selling it seem to be American however. Can anyone tell me if I can buy this in the UK/Europe?

    I made a search in Sony in UK, Swiss, Italy, France, and Germany and believe that the AR790 is not currently available to European markets.

    For IT products, manufacturers tend to introduce more advance models to the US market.

    In this instance, I would recommend PortableOne (P1) which is a trustable seller from US :

    Although your country is not listed in PortableOne's website, it will in fact ship to UK and other parts of the world, if you enquire / order through e-mail.
