Well.. i dont need win8, looking for win 7 original OEM...
What about SONY VAIO SVE15114FXS CORE i5-3210 2.5GHZ 3RD GEN/6GB/640GB/15.5 LED/WIN7PREM(64BIT) ???
I warmly welcome your suggestions...!!!

Last year, I bought a SVS151190X with windows 7 direct from Sony on a closeout.
One important difference is that my model has the HD 1080P screen.
Another is that it has a discrete added graphics chip which can help with games.

It is hard to find anything new that does not have the hated windows 8.
I reinstalled windows on a SSD which is the key to laptop performance.
Look for a unit with minimal hard drive, and plan on replacing it with a ssd.

Thanks geofelt, but iam looking for more reviews on the model i specified...
A few stock available as product is discontinued, that does not affect the warranty right?

As it is integrated graphics, can i connect an external graphic card on this model later?

No, you really can't. Nor would you want to compromise the portability capability which is the main reason for getting a laptop in the first place. The only useful upgrades possible to a laptop are added ram or upgraded storage such as a ssd.
If you want to do anything more intensive than viewing video's, you should be looking for a discrete graphics chip.
