    Unfortunately Sony still does not offer any customized notebooks over her in Europe. Still there will be two S5-series models available in October - S5XP for 2.299 euros and S5HP for 1.799 euros (16% german VAT included)

    VGN-S5XP
    • 2.0 GHz Pentium M 760/533 MHz FSB
    • 1 GB DDR2-SDRAM
    • 100 GB S-ATA Festplatte
    • Widescreen 13,3“ WXGA x-black LCD (1280 x 800)
    • nVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 mit TurboCache/128 MB
    • WLAN 802.11 b/g • Bluetooth
    • Double Layer DVD±RW-Laufwerk

    VGN-S5HP
    • 1.73 GHz Pentium M 740/533 MHz FSB
    • 512 MB DDR2-SDRAM
    • 80 GB S-ATA Festplatte
    • Widescreen 13,3” WXGA x-black LCD (1280 x 800)
    • nVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 mit TurboCache/128 MB
    • WLAN 802.11 b/g • Bluetooth
    • Double Layer DVD±RW-Laufwerk

    Personally the 'crappy black version' stands out better.

    How much 1799 euro in dollars?

    Black looks better to most, but I believe that the silver uses better materials. Choose your poison...

    Well, the silver version is more durable, right?
    1799 euros equals 2160 dollars (as I said VAT included).
