    Can the Sony SZ use Intel Pro Wireless?

    Just a quick question to sony SZ users!

    I recently went to the showroom and checked out a Sony SZ model. Looking through the Start Menu I was sort of surprised that I could not fine the "Intel PRO Wireless" utility thingy.

    I'm not sure what it's called exactly, but looking at a friend's Fujitsu laptop I could switch between how to select, I hope everyone knows what I'm refering to.. >_<;

    So yeah.. Just wondering is the SZ stuck with only the windows utility? Or is there some way to switch to the Intel one besides the start menu?

    Thanks in advance!! ^^

    Intel Pro Wireless is already installed.
    You only have to rightclick on the ircon and choose @Use Intel bla@

    I just receiver a SZ Premium a few minutes ago, so I know what I am talking about :)

    Every Laptop with an Intel WirelessCard acan use the ProSet.

    I ordered a SZ-250 Premium for 2050USD.
    It arrived an hour ago, but till now I am impressed.
    The LED backlight is really bright.

    And in Germany (I live now in the US) it costs 800USD more, so I am more then happy.
