    :( Got my AR11S not even a month ago being Told it will be Sonys Top End Laptop for at least 6 Months by Sony Center Leeds, now i find out that AR290G is already out with a Core 2 Duo which supports 64bit extensions in vista and 4 meg cache, and has 2 gig ram. Man am i furious, i was led to beleive that the AR11S is sonys holy grail laptop for the rest of the year. Boy am i pissed! Thaks for reading, rant over!

    Sorry to hear that Focca...but I'm sure that you wouldn't be too surprised about it right?

    The usual cycle for Sony is only 3 months. They'd release new updates to a series every quarter.

    In anycase, your computer is still one of the most amazing beasts out there in the world right now. :)
