I renew query about any shops or somebody willing to sell the old generation vaio ( prefer shopping in Europe but possibly can be usa)

Im interested in the last gen Z series as well please PM me

 

Sorry, but my Z820, which I was considering to sell and get the " new " Z is no longer for sale. I thoroughly considered the " drawbacks " and compromises I felt with the " new " Z. I went ahead and upgraded my Z820 with 8GB of RAM and swapped the internal DVD drive with a new Blu-ray drive. I now have what I feel is the perfect Z notebook.

As for buying a " last gen " Z, for those in the U.S.A. I would seriously consider checking Sony Style's Clearance section. In your case, I'm not sure of the Sony Style in the London region. There are many " refurbished " models and a few new models as well. The prices for the refubs are actually quite good, considering they are coming with specs such as a P9700 processor, 8GB of RAM in some cases, and either the standard DVD drive or the Blu-ray drive for a couple hundred more.

 

SonyStyle Canada has some last gen Z Series on clearance sale right now:

(scroll down to the bottom of the page for Z Series)
They start at $1,299 (CAD), which I think is a really good deal. Hope someone will find that useful

 

Thanks for your help but unfortunately the shipment of Canadian parties is not possible for abroad

 

You might want to regularly check eBay too. Good luck.

 

I have a Sony Z 540 with about 2 years left on the accidental damage warranty on it if you are insterested - it has Win 7 x64 enterprise on it. Feel free PM me if you want more specs.

 

Does this forum have a classifieds section for selling your used equipment?

 

Could someone kindly explain to me what the benefit of getting an "old" Z vs. say a new Thinkpad Edge would be? (serious question, not trolling)

For example, if you look at the Z's for sale on the Canadian website on the previous page vs. a new Edge it would appear that the edge would be faster with the new processor, has the same ram, and has a bigger HDD. I am sure there are reasons that the Z would be worth an extra $400 or so, but was hoping someone could enlighten me as to what that is. I realize that the Z would be much more stylish, and perhaps a bit lighter.

Thanks!

 

The 13" Edge has a ultra-low voltage cpu which has substantially less performance than the Z's processor.
The 14" Edge has a better cpu but it's also bigger and has less battery life than the Z.
And one of the most important features of the Z is a switchable hybrid graphics solution with Intels 4500 series for battery life and a dedicated Nvidia 9300M GS for 3d performance which none of the Edge's have.

 

Ah! Thank you. I just assumed that the Edge's would be faster because they are quite a bit newer. I don't know much about this stuff. I realize the Z is a "premium" notebook. So it's more stylish, lighter and probably made of better materials. I was just curious about what would justify the extra cost.

If anyone else has more insight I would be happy to hear it.

 

Yes boe
