    for pre-made you have many many options.
    So where are you from?

    I want to buy the Sony Vaio Z here in the US.. so Tigerdirect is the best choice? I would like to get 192 Gb or 256 Gb SSD's though... and then SonyStyle is the only place?

    I purchased my Z116 (256GB SSD) from J&R. Newegg also sells it.

    The best place to get a Z cheap is from a store that sells it on Bing Cashback.

    So, I found it to a good price at 8% cash back on Bing. But, it's at Ebay.. again, can you rely on Ebay? Would you buy something for 2000 dollars on Ebay?

    Second question, how long time does it take to get the cash back on Bing?

    I bought an EEE 901 when they first came out from Ebay via then Live Cashback and I got the EEE and the cashback no problems (was like $600 with Cashback bringing it down under $500). And Cashback takes a long time to credit you, I'd say at the monst 2.5 months.
