    What is the closest thing that sony has that looks similar to the SR an dis 15 inch. I dont like the FW because it's just too big. I want an all black SR 15 inch.

    if you're a millionaire they might consider making you a custom one, otherwise sonystyle.com is your only choice.

    i do agree that the sr is nicer looking though, the whole speaker area and media buttons are so old school and fugly

    Sony makes two 15.4" models: BZ and NR.

    BZ is all black. I saw one today, it looks good.

    larger screen
    heavier and wider
    no entertainment buttons
    keyboard is not "mac-style" since they aren't seperated keys
    lack of dedicated GPU AFAIK

    True only integrated graphics. So not suitable for gamers.

    Comes in higher resolution 1440*900.
