Sony Vaio Vgn-Sz3XWP C Pc Notebook (£1,550)

Date posted: Monday 13th October

Location: London

This Sony Vaio notebook is almost new. I have had the product for about 9 months and it has only come out of its packaging to load the Windows Upgrade Vista package and since then has been used in my office for a total of no more than 24 hours, on and off.

I have a SZ4 notebook and thought it might be an idea to have a "backup" but it is evident from my statement above that I just simply did not need two notebooks especially as I realised it was not practical transferring information form one to the other.

This notebook is therefore fairly described as "NEW" and comes with all original packaging almost down to the last twisty wire which holds the cabling together.

In addition there is a FREE HDSPA T-Mobile Sim card and ExpressCard for 3G connectivity while on the move away from any WiFi network. There is a 30 day trial on this but I am unsure if this time would have expired. In any event the 3G Expresscard is included and if you are a T-Mobile customer with data connection contract or similar you would be able to use this card with your existing SIM card or maybe T-Mobile would send you one anyway. I am unsure but believe that the Expresscard would NOT work with other networks but unless you need this item then it may be irrelevant anyway.

One advantage is that this notebook comes with FREE VISTA Business upgrade which is installed already (see picture). All disks for BOTH XP and Vista are included so if you, like many, prefer to go back to XP then just run the reinstall programme from the hard disk partition or the original disks.
