    Perhaps, but it does have the 8400GS. It's like a barebone W7s.

    Where did you get that info? I thought the S37S comes with a 8400M G.

    Nice find.

    They've changed up the look a bit from what MilestonePC posted...A glossy white Imprint-like finish on the lid, a dark gray interior/keyboard, and white casing. Plus no more chrome mouse buttons! No more fingerprint scanner either though. I like it better than the HP copy (not a bad thing) that they had before. Nice set of ports as well, the only thing missing is S-Video.

    And the S37s spec sheet had the 8400M GS down as the graphics card, I thought.

    Vivek, the only spec sheet I can find is this one provided by GenTechPC in this thread, in which you stated you thought it was a 8400M G. :confused: Rizeon is advertising the S37S on their site as having the 8400M G.

    Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the S37S with a 8400M GS, but so far the Dell M1330 seems to be the only 13" notebook carrying that GPU.

    I just got proven wrong by my own post.... :eek: Shameful. I guess you are right...I thought I saw it as GS on PortableOne's product page, but I just checked again, and it says G.

    Too thick. Uses a 12.7mm optical drive vs 9.5 on the Z33/Z35, and it's still even THICKER then the optical drive.

    Too bad, looks like the 3x series is pretty dead to me now.

    i think it looks like a 13.3" white C90 chassis, without the fan. Of course I also think the F8 is a fanless 14.1" C90 chassis...so I could just be delusional.

    F8: Definitely not. An plastic W3 maybe. As for the S37 being a mini-C90, I don't disagree. They are very similar notebooks, even more so in earlier pics where the S37 had a silver inside and black lid.

    The production delay is disconcerting. Is there a reason for this delay?

    Update:
    Yes I did post that a while ago, I just totally forgot about that. :p
