Z540 clearance on sonystyle

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665551574

just in case anyone is interested... i think its a GREAT deal. i'd totally be in on it, but i want to see what jobs and co come out with mid-october before i make a laptop decision

 

Sweet deal! Hmmmmm.....

 

Too bad that Z590 listed is out of stock. $2300 for a 590 w/BD is a darn good price

 

but thats a refurbished model, no?

 

yeah this seems like a single returned cto machine that is being discounted.

 

No kidding, I would have jumped on that (well, provided I'd still get an easy return policy just in case). Awesome deal. And this time ... the processor, RAM, and HDD I wanted too. *sigh*

No, they are both listed as clearance. (Of course, you can't buy either - you can add to cart but they then tell you they're OOS.)

 

oh..

btw, i just returned a Z590 with 2.53GHz, 4GB, B-Ray, would it appear as a refurbished model?

 

**** that sux i would have jumped on that

 

So I just placed an order, it didnt say out of stock... Also says Clearance products carry their original factory warranty and have the regular return policy...

Not that fastest processor or biggest harddrive but thats okay

 

mayn you bought the last one

 

Ill probably get an email saying that there was an error and they actually didn't have it in stock :laugh:
Im pretty excited. It's funny I went to the Sony Style store last night so I could actually get an idea of the difference between the SR and Z series first hand.
Ultimately when I walked out of there I was telling myself, the build quality on the SR is pretty good, and the price difference is simply not justified (for me) with the Z series. So It was looking like it was going to be more between the SR and the lenovo u330 for me. Then I woke up this morning and thanks to fastrandstrongr ill hopefully be getting a Z series within the next week!

 

yah im gonna be waiting around some more for a deal I missed the Amazon deal now this one enjoy your new Z

 

glad i could help! if stupid apple weren't rumoring to be releasing new notebooks in a few weeks i would have gotten it too. arghhh i hope i'm not kicking myself mid-oct. i'm definitely not waiting any longer if jobs doesn't fess up and show us what he's hiding.

 

So, sonystyle canceled my order today. They said they were out of stock. I explained to them it was in stock when I added it to my cart, blah blah blah and she told said this is very common when ordering from the sony outlet. She said the best she could do is connect me with a sales associate and find me a similarly speced laptop. I asked if they would honor the price, and she said no. So I basically said forget it. Looks like ill be waiting for some coupons
