    Sony Vaio - Best place to buy customized Sony

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    Posted

    I am usually buying Dell Business style laptops, but the new ones are so ugly - I can't stand it. So, I think my next laptop will be a Sony Vaio. I am looking at a customized version of the NW or the FW.

     

    There are plenty of places to buy from, but most shops or online stores do only carry pre-configured ones. I need a custom configuration that meets my needs. The only place I know of where to order a custom Sony Vaio is at www.SonyStyle.com.

     

    Any other places you know of where I could get a customized Sony Vaio, but at a better price?! Or are there any coupons/tricks/employee codes for the official Sony website to get the price down a little bit?

     

    Thanks.
