    Hey guys, I need to buy a pre-built VAIO as a gift. I know there's Conics and protable one, what other places sell the vaio models?

    As sonystyle doesn't seem to have the i7 in stock.

    Thanks.

    If mechguy is still around he will say "User Side". But all these companies purchase from Sony too, no?

    Best Buy sells pre-customized ones and so does Walmart.

    There are many online shops selling Sony Vaios. Just check Pricegrabber.com or Google Shopping.

    I'm not sure what model you're talking about... but if you mean the Vaio Z, besides sonystyle online and sonystyle stores and ebay, you can't get an i7 in a prebuilt model. because the vpcz112/4/6/8 are all i5-520m's
