Best time to buy TZ?

Hello, with the new line of laptops coming out next month, would it be best for me to wait until that time to buy a TZ? I found some good prices at ecomelectronics and I'm wondering if the price would go down once the new sony laptops come in, or if it won't make any difference?

Here are the two TZ's I'm looking at:

Why is the 170 more expensive than the 240?

Thanks!

Sorry, just feeling goofy.

 

TZ is Most overpriced computer.. nice as they are. Best for size.. tho a bit too small for me anyway (I like 13.3)

Especially the better SSD ones as the price of these will be getting KILLED by so much cheaper 9" EEE's with smaller, but still SSD's at 1/6 the price.

Soon they'll have 10" EEE's with 24-32GB SSDs at maybe 800-900.

No line will be as affected as the TZ.

Problem with tz is Price.
Unlike the TZ you can bring a EEE to the beach or anywhere.. and not fret about a $3500 machine.

SSD's are going to cave in price along with the higher end TZ's.

Not to mention the Humongous (Corporate and Financial) layoffs now taking place which will put alot of used ones in play and take away the mkt for new $3600 machines.

 

okay, from what i've seen, the description of the 240N they are selling doesn't have the LED backlit display, while the 170N has one. but i thought all TZ models have the LED backlit display? or is that not the case, and the reason why the 240N is cheaper is because it doesn't have the LED?

 

That's a great point, and one I've thought about myself. On one hand the TZ is the perfect "take anywhere" laptop. On the other hand, it's too expensive to truly take "anywhere" without worrying about it.

 

Thx..
on a EEE you don't worry about a little sand at the beach-, or a percent of your assets being stolen when in the water.
With TZ -- you don't even bring it for that or maybe even that little bit of sand or salt air.

I also go to Central Park in NYC to Play Frisbee. (among a cast of thousands).. you just don't want to worry about something THAT expensive in the back pack.

 

tomato all tzs have led lcds

 

not true though. i just got back from a week in waikiki and my tz followed me everywhere (including the beach). i bought this thing for portability and i'll be damned if a little sand is going to stop me!

as far as getting it stolen, the way i see it, is that it's covered by my home owner's insurance. i'd be more concerned about losing all the data on it than with losing the physical laptop itself.
