    Hi.

    I bought the computer VPCZ217GG in Asia.

    I cannot find that model number in neither Sony US site or Sony Asia site. On Sony Asia site I can in fact find the model but I cannot find the drivers as this model does not appear on the model selection page in the download section.

    Can someone tell me what is the identical Alternatve US model so that I can download the correct Vaio Z2 drivers which are appropriate for my machine from the US site ?

    My VPCZ217GG is :
    i7-2620M
    8GB Ram
    256GB SSD (128gb x 2 in RAID 0)
    Full HD screen (1920x1080)
    comes with Dock with Blu-Ray and Radeon 6650M GPU

    I need to download drivers and apps since I want to reformat my machine completely. What model is identical so that I can choose from Sony US site instead of my real computer model ?

    Thanks a lot guys I appreciate it.

    Thanks a lot. I tried to find the model on several countries websites but didn't try Australia. It's a pity Sony makes bit harder for people by having so many sites each with a different models. At least for support site they should have had one super site with all the models and support in one place, especially today that we live in a global world, one would not have to go through dozens of Sony sites just to find the right one.
