Looking to buy a Sony Viao VGN-SZ2XP or similar, RRP 1599 UKP.

Dixons tax-free at the airport is 1361 UKP.

Any better places for these things?

Cheers

I've always wondered. Is it really a Vaio or is it a Va10? :confused:

Or so Sony says.

:hmm:

My younger son, who knows about these things, ordered mine for me from:

Sony e-Solutions Europe B.V.
The Corporate Village
Da Vincilaan 7-D1
B1935 Zaventem
Belgium.

The machine is a VGNT2XP/L.CEK. The price was £1.445.96 and that was almost exactly a year ago. It's probably dinosauric by now. It's very small and light and with an extra battery I can go on for ever on the long haul nights flights. I think that Sony have now produced some carbon fibre models which are even lighter?:)

Yes, thank you people for the mixed replies.

I know where I can get them, my question was intended more as "where are the cheapest places to buy them?"

ie. has anyone any experiences of buying a Sony Vaio at anything other than RRP in the UK? If so, I'd appreciate your input.

FF.

:hmm:

Let me try to rephrase my previous post.
My younger son seemed to think that he got me a better deal than was available in the UK by ordering a Sony from the Belgian address I published in a previous post.
Of course, I do not really know if such might still be the case today.:)

Bought mine at Dabs.com, who seem to be pretty competitive. However, discussion on the flightdeck suggests that the duty-free shops at LHR and LGW may indeed be among the cheapest places worldwide to buy new Vaios, especially if they're run-out stock.
