They are now sold out of that model.

I got mine today and it was even better than it should have been. Had an SXGA screen instead of XGA. What a deal!!!

Getting SXGA was pure luck. I didn't pay for a model with it.

just got a BX540BWC w/x-tra battery for $820 shipped.....thx SilentVixen

Man if I had the money I'd be on this.

I just got a bx540. The right corner area away from the screen really runs hot, very hot to the touch. It has the current bios with a fix for the fan. Is this common with sonys or most new notebooks?

It's the hard drive that is there. Would most likely run cooler with a 4200rpm drive...exhaust for the cpu/gpu is along the back left.

 

[codeyf]

Combine this with the Sony Mastercard Offer and make it hotter! $100 off + 3 points for every dollar spent on your laptop!

 

[ron2368]

At least its the HD , glad its not the cpu area.

Yeah, the cpu actually seems to run pretty cool. Although I notice it heats up when I run Tiger Woods '06 or Guild Wars.

damn thats hot man... zones gotta put updating pictures instead of generic sony ones!

$1050 -$600= $450+$100(lappy) = $550 :Q

did anybody get their rebate working before??? because the terms and condition states you need all appropriate hardware



edit: these are centrino processors correct?

 

[garrettgjb]

Got an email from the guy that sold me the laptop.

The ONLY requirements for the full trade-in value are:
> AC adapter,
> battery
> Windows installed or included on a burned CD.
> I've confirmed and reconfirmed these requirements with Sony and our
> Sony representative here. I have shipped over 80 of these and I am
> confident of the details.

Has been confirmed that it just has to have the battery. It doesn't need to hold much, if any, of a charge.

 

[LurkingInNC]

The only SONY laptop I can find on the Zones site is a Sony VAIO TX770P/B PMC-1.3GHz for $2,300...

Wonder if everything else is sold out.

 

[dashojos]

I have a Dell PIII 1.7 that needs a new lcd -- there are no cracks, just colors/fuzzy stripes instead of video (video to external monitor works perfectly fine!) Does this fit in their criteria?l
