    I don't have a Sony Style store near me (closest one is over 6 hours away). Is the AW sold in any other retail stores?

    Not sure I understand your answer. I was just asking if any other retailers carry the AW model. I know Best Buy doesn't, but wasn't sure about other places.

    I think he was either joking, or actually thought you meant Alienware, sometimes referred to as "AW".

    In my area (central Florida) I haven't seen the AW in any retail outlet other than the SonyStyle store. Best Buy only goes up to the FW, and even then, they only display the base model. I guess stores rationalize that the AW isn't going to appeal to as large of a market, therefore they won't stock it. I'd call around if I were you, maybe where you're at the situation might be different.
