The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    That specific model configuration is gone, but there's one that's close (only difference is i5-540m instead of the i7-620m):

    # Display : C50876001
    # Color : Silver
    # Wireless Wide Area Network : Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In
    # Processor : Intel® Core™ i5-540M processor (2.53GHz) with Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz
    # Memory : 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3-SDRAM-1066
    # Hard Drive : 512GB (256GBx2) Solid State Drive with RAID 0 Technology
    # Optical Disc Drive : CD/DVD Burner
    # Battery : Large Capacity Battery
    # Channel : C50876059
    # Warranty : C50876063
    # Operating System : Genuine Windows® 7 Professional 64-bit
    # Software Optimization : Fresh Start
    # Software : No additional Office Software
    # Software2 : C50876091
    # Photo Software : No additional Photo Editing Software
    # Video Software : No additional Video Editing Software
    # AntiVirus Software : No additional AntiVirus Software
    # Base Unit : C50876435
    # Battery Color : C50876491
    # Limited Warranty Term : 90 Day Limited Warranty

    $1,979.95 - 20% = $1,583.96 + tax + warranty.

    Remember: The 512GB (256GBx2) is actually a quad raid. It's a 128GB x 4. Sony U.S. lists the specs differently from Sony International.
