    A lot of them are not in stock but may be it is one to watch. I can't believe that Sony Z's were going for £699 and Sony TT's for £699. How did i miss some of these. I hope they get more stock in.

    Outlet prices used to be a complete joke.

    The pricing doesn't look like a mistake as well.

    They also have Sony SR's for very decent prices right now as well.

    Hopefully the VPC-Z1's will make it to the outlet store soon as well.

    I see that they added several other models to the outlet store like the S series, W series and a few other lines.
    They have more TT's in stock now.
    It is quite hard to find the link.
    You need to go to the Vaio to You store and you be able to locate clearance from there.
    The refurb items which are the cheapest go very quickly.

    New Zealand has had the Sony Solutions Centre in Auckland that sold factory seconds, returns, ex-demo etc for years pretty much unnoticed and it was only this year the store got put up online. Most of the notebooks they sell are about 25% off with full warranty. However they do not tell why the product is there.

    The FZ I got through them though has proven to be a lemon. It had the 8 series Nvidia fault, the screen is going on it, the microphone only worked for a few months and the memory stick reader will happily import my photos but it will be sure to corrupt the card in the process, leaving my digital camera to reformat the card when I next wish to use it.

    I am saying this as a warning but of course I can not say this would not have happened had the notebook been bought new.
