    Now I'm stuck between SZ220 and 270. The main difference for me is magnesium vs carbon casing. So if there are people who use their SZ for at least 6 months, how is your casing condition and what is your casing type? Any scratches, etc?

    I've had mine for nearly a year and it's magnesium case is in excellent condition. I use it daily as well.

    Thanks for replies! Any more info?
    Also I would like to know about condition of silver coating around keyboard on non-premuim SZ-s. On other laptops it usually gets scratched very fast and scrathes are clearly visible on it :(
