Zomg sony is replacing my laptop for free for this!

My old one that I broke and posted the thread on was a:

VGN-SZ120 (Non-Premium)
1.83Ghz Core Duo
1GB RAM
100GB Hard Drive
Windows XP Professional

They are replacing for FREE with this:

VGN-SZ420NB (Non-Premium)
2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
160GB Hard Drive
Windows Vista Business Edition

AWESOME

 

Congrats I'd see if you can put XP back on the new machine, though. Vista doesn't have much good to offer to the consumers as far as I'm concerned. But I'm one of those crazy people who likes being free to use his computer as he likes, rather than letting media companies and Microsoft tell me where to go today.

 

Thats a good deal. I still have you beat, though. HP lost my computer when they were fixing it, so they refunded it and gave me my choice of any laptop they were selling at the time. Thats right, free computer.

 

man that is so cool. so how do i get one of these offers?

 

Congratulations Aero. The new machine looks very good specification wise. I'm somewhat suprised to see Sony doing this, but I suppose if you were under some sort of warranty, then they would do this. Anyway, enjoy the new notebook.

 

coolio . . .and the gang

 

Congratulations, Aero!!

 

That's awesome, the second one is like almost $1000 more than the first if I'm not mistaken.

 

Nice. Not so long ago I brought back a Sempron 3000+, 1gb Ram, X200 integrated - was given a 1.8Ghz Pentium M, 1gb Ram, Go6400 Sony Vaio as a replacement. I wasn't complaining either, especially not when that too broke and yet again I was given this laptop, 1.66Ghz Core Duo, 1Gb Ram, Go7400.

Perhaps this one will break in a few months also....*Strokes beard*

 

nice deal! how'd you break the old one?

 

You jammy...

result!

 

nice deal,wish I could have that, the I could get an XPS.

 

Nice, glad to here things worked out for you!

 

zomg is teh Aero gonna surf using teh windows Aero???!!11

 

ha

that deserves a rep point, first smile of the morning here for me

edit: never mind, apparently I have to spread the love around before I give back to zellio...

 

how did u break it?

congrats

 

^ He fell I think...

But this really should go in the Sony forum.

 

He dropped it on tile flooring.

 

Yeah I dropped it on the tile flooring when coming down the stairs ...I didnt fall though as Jason said lol.

Yes it should be in the Sony forum, I think I was in a rush when I posted the thread so I didnt really see where I was posting this.

Anyways still waiting, they say its on order.

So

P.S - and as for me using Windows Aero, I already am Vista RTM

 

Welcome to the club.

Last October, Sony replaced my non-premium SZ340 with a premium SZ360 free of charge ---- and I didn't even have to break it!

 

Do you guys have some accidental warranty or regular one ?

I mean, people will start dropping their laptops once they figure out how to make Sony to replace for newer laptop.

 

Very very nice orea...a blessing in disguise

 

Accidental Warranty rocks , when its damaged so bad its not worth repairing so they replace it.

Btw Im getting it Monday w00t yay!

 

Really it does

 

Hey Aero was your warranty expire and what did you say when you call them?

 

Lol, I am about to buy a sz, should I buy the cheapest one, and break it?

 

Well I got it yesterday .

It came with Vista but I must say Vista is a let down in games. Losing FPS.

In WoW for example, in my other vaio I could get a 60fps at highest settings, on this new one (remember its faster with more RAM too) I get a 45fps give or take.

I wonder though if I get to review this for NBR?


P.S - Totally new VAIO, sealed box and all
