    Hi guys,

    I want to get a Vaio Z1, but the problem is I'm in Canada... So while I can still get one through the US outlet, I'd want to try some closer to home options first =)

    I found some demos at a few Sony Style stores around here ($1799.99) as well as some used units for sale (local and out of province ones).

    Now I'm just wondering which one would the pros here go for - a demo or a used one? The demos have basic specs and costs more but is covered by Sony. On the other hand used units can be cheaper and have better specs but condition = questionable?

    If anyone knows of any other place where I can get a Z1, please tell me!

    Thanks in advance.

    (I'm still kicking myself for not getting one when sonystyle.ca was clearing out the Z12 for the Z13 last year -_-)

    +1, i'm also in Canada looking for the Z1. They seem soooo difficult to find, one place I saw some were at the Sony Style outlet at Niagra. They had 2 units, Z12 for 1200 and Z13 for 1400.

    ^ I didn't even know there was a Sony outlet there lol. So did you end up getting one? The prices seem decent, well depending on the specs...

    I didn't end up picking either of them up. They both were display units that had come from another store. I found them to be quite banged up haha. I ordered a SB instead, because I know if I got the SA I'd convince myself to get the new Z instead haha. I'll see how the SB is when I receive it, hoping for the best!
