cheapest quailifying vaio??

Any vaio deals to go along with this?

Nothing to see here. The cheapest new laptop is the Y series which goes for $450, but it has 11.6" display and an AMD E450 processor.
After the $150 credit, it comes to $300 which is all one of these "better than a netbook, but not quite a real laptop" things is really worth.

sfchew : Do you know if we can use this for a Tablet or Internet Viewer .. or only for the Laptops ?

thanks

I've got an old 8086 with b/w screen that uses 5.25" floppies. Can't wait to finally get something for it.

Can I trade in more than one laptop and get $300 credit to buy a new one? Or can you only use a single $150 credit on each laptop purchase?

sfchew, was the 6gbmem/640HD, i5 Laptop for $594 something you saw inside the Sony Store? Was it a special specific to the store you went to? Or was it something online? I can't find find that model (w/those specs) at that price online.

And can you provide the exact product number of that Vaio E you got for $594?

thanks in advance...

I was wondering how common are these trade-ins (at this value) with other companies? I'm really tempted with this one since I have an old HP single core laptop w/ intel celeron processor that I haven't picked up/used in about a year and half. It's just collecting dust, want to get rid of it.

The Best Buy trade-in module at their website prices my laptop at "zero point zero" (to quote Animal House). So Sony giving me a potential $150 is really tempting.

Are there companies that every now and then offer something similar to what Sony is offering? In that case, I might hold off on this deal.

sfchew said:   Hello, I did the tradein of a Dell laptop and a Asus netbook at the local Sony Store and they gave me 2 $150 vouchers which I used to purchase a Series E laptop. They did check to see that the computers would boot up to verify that they were working. I think the offer only applies to laptops and netbooks but you can call the Sony tradein phone number to check.

you where able to use 2 coupons on one laptop? if so I have enough old laptops to cash in and get a free new one.

I'd do this if I could pick up a PS3...

sfchew said:   Yes, I was able to use 2 tradeins to purchase 1 laptop but you should confirm with Sony to make sure.

wow...

and my wife said hoarding all those old laptops was stupid...

IF I can get them to do it.. I have 1500 bucks worth of them.

How did you do that? i went to the store and the sales said the 2 vouchers have to be used on 2 separate laptops...so i told her no thanks and good bye....wanted to know how you do it and do it your way...thanks.

I was able to use 2 vouchers for 1 laptop. The store manager did seem to say that this was not the normal procedure but they were willing to do the deal.

Any one try 3, 4, or more laptops. I've got 6 ancient, but perfectly working, p133 to p400 laptops?

hey which city did you try!!! or which city do you reside in??

Note that's the price for the Pentium B960 Processor. If you want the i5, it's $609.99 before the trade-in.

hello, it is a ecoupon voucher and can only be used for a Sony Laptop

Yes you can buy any laptop in Sony Store included clearance and y series.

I did the $150 trade-in online. It doesn't work on Y series, Sony Outlet laptops, tablets, or PS3. Believe me, I tried. It only works on new laptops. I haven't redeemed my coupon code, but it is still valid. The discount shows up on checkout.

One thing I didn't try that I thought about was trying to redeem this in-store. Back when the $150 trade-in was still available, I filled out the form online and got my $150 coupon code before I even mailed my laptop. To my surprize, it worked immediately at check out, but I was weary of sending my laptop over the mail. I called my nearest Sony store and they said they could accept my trade-in with the $150 discount toward 'a purchase'. So perhaps at a Sony store, the manager can be 'nice to you.'

If you haven't done so already, it is too late to get the $150 off. That promotion was only good for one week.

Anybody have certificate they didn't use (that hasn't expired). Possibly looking for a Sony laptop, and trying to get a deal....
