I really like the Sony BX line but I cannot find a place to buy one...I do not believe Sony sells them anymore. Does anyone know if Sony is comming back with a business line?

Thanks

I just picked up a BX540. Seems like a pretty solid laptop and a good price. I got it from www.shopblt.com. Their customer service is great. Pcmall also has them too.

Since they are a business line Sony doesn't sell them through the normal consumer channels, and in fact the only way to find them on the Sony site, is to check out their b2b.sony.com website.

You can get them through on-line retailers right now, and there are some pretty sweet deals going on with them if you know where to look.

Take a look at this one from Zones.com - http://www.zones.com/cgi-bin/zones/site/product/index.html?id=001311613

Use their Dell trade in program for BX series machines ($500 trade in for a Dell notebook, no matter how old! Seriously, I've heard of Windows 3.1 machines being traded in for the $500 bucks!) and you have a new BX for almost $500!
