    I'm interested in buying a TT, and I noticed a VGN-TT180N/B model, what makes this different from the CTO/190 models on sonystyle.com? The last time I made an error on a Sony product number, I almost bought a TZ sans webcam. And could the premium carbon cover be swapped in down the line on my own? Otherwise compared to TT's elsewhere this has everything I want... or so it seems haha.

    TT180NB is pre-configured so what you see is what you get. With the CTO 190, you have the option to change the configuration, so you can make a CTO 190 into a 180NB, if you want.

    The 180 looks nearly like a maxed out 190, except that it has Vista Business, standard battery, and no SSD. Also, the 180 is black while the 190 gets 4 colors.

    Thanks a ton, the 180 has all the features I'm looking for, and I was hoping that I could swap out the cover for premium carbon when I feel like it down the line, plan on a leather cover anyways.
