I have been waiting since the end of last year for the S series to come out in the US then it only came out in one model for Best Buy, which hasn't been updated since it came out 10 or so months ago!

Personally, I cannot live without the extra column of keys, Home/Pg up/Pg down/End, on the right side of the keyboard. Otherwise, I would have pulled the trigger on a Z a long time ago. So, the S series seems like the best choice for me but I don't have any contacts in the UK to order one there and then have it shipped to me. Does anyone know if they will ever release this thing on sonystyle?

Not too sure, but unfortunately, it seems like for the near future, Best Buy will still hold the exclusive rights to sell the VAIO S series in the US market.

Yeah that's what it seems like. The best buy model is decent, but I would rather have better specs. Also, hasn't it been the same S111 model since it came out back in January or so? Seems like they should at least have bumped up to the S12 or now the S13 model.
