$300 Laptops!!!
My new Zones rep Nathan made me aware of a great deal about a month ago that we have just taken advantage of and I want to pass on. Sony has a trade-in program running until September 1st that they will give you $450.00 for each Dell laptop (or $300 for other brands) you trade them in for a new Sony Laptop. We traded in one dell and two IBMS and paid less than $450 per laptop for each one after the rebate, which included extended battery and docking station.
If you would like our Zones contact’s info let me know but here are the Sony details about the trade-in program http://www.sony.tradeups.com/Customers/12/AllPromotions.aspx
Sony ships with tons of bloat-ware and we did have some issues putting our volume XP and Vista licensing on these devices because of Sony driver issues but the second tier support was great in getting these issues resolved…. I wouldn’t change your entire lineup to Sony laptops, but if you have some old boat anchors laying around that you want to trade in this a great cost effective option. If you do purchase a Sony viao and have support issues let me know and we’ll give you that contact info too.
do you mind telling me what models did you buy?
As I pointed out to the GCC folks and on Twitter last week, you may find relief at:
