    Does Portable One have plans to offer any of the new Sony Vaio models in the future, specifically the Sony Vaio Z?

    I am sure they will, as they have had every new model from Sony until now.

    Ok. Do you think there will be much of a time lag after SonyStyle (and other places) start shipping the laptops, before Portable One has them available?

    Yes of course, our team will be launching them this week, with all sorts of options, such as bloatware free full version OS's with DVD's of XPP, VBUS & Ultimate and various other options. Sony always announces things early before they can even ship anything, so once we start getting all the pertinent data from them they will be inputted.

    They have been added.

    Does Portableone deliver international warranty on these Z models?
    And do you accept international orders?

    P1 can ship internationally. I bought a couple of Fujitsu notebooks from them some years ago.

    I can't comment on how the international warranty would be handled. I presume it would reflect the Sony US international warranty cover.

    Does Portable One offer any other configurations, or only what's listed on their site?

    I'm specifically looking for an FW with a HiColor screen (not an Eco screen).... but the only FW listed with a HiColor screen is configured with a fairly expensive processor, which I don't want or need. All the others listed come with an Eco screen.

    I'm also looking for an SR with a P8600 or higher.
