    Yeah, we noticed the same as well. Have a look at the last few posts in this thread:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=122037

    Hopefully they start selling again soon :) I think they were a bit early to sell in the first place though. Not many other manufacturers have 8M gpus for sale either.

    this is really disappointing! i was at the sony style store an hour ago and they where they were putting out the non-blue ray version (which i was told was in stock, but it has the x3100 card instead of the 8400m GT) running about $1500. probably something to do with the 8400m GT is stalling the release. nice feeling/looking computer.

    also, if anyone from sony reads these, jerick from the woodfield/schaumburg was very helpful and informative. give that man a raise!

    Yeah, my bet is that it's 8M holding things up. Hopefully soon boys (and girls) :D

    it feels pretty sturdy. much more impressive than my dell inspiron., but i think the FE is sleeker. they only had the black keyboard and thats the one i want with it. its very attractive for a computer. if you use it in public people would probably think youre mixing some tricked out beats for your hip hop group instead of what youre actually doing, leveling your dwarf champion or raiding uber tier 4 armor for your undead rogue, "pixter"

    Awsome Thank you ,


    So u think the black matches perfectly with the Silver, People tend to think that the silver is white like the Fe , but not sure how white keyboard would look with silver ? ,

    so i guess i will have to wait for more info :)

    thank you again

    its really up to your own preference kuwaitgroup. i have a black ipod which matches my black ray ban wayfarers which will match my black keyboard, so it would have to be one special shade of white for me to choose it.

    Has anyone seen the white keyboard in person yet? If I were to get an FZ, I'd want the keyboard AND the palm rest area to be matched to the rest of the casing. I hope this is the case, rather than making the keyboard white, and leaving the palm rest black.

    Also, does it have a Glossy Screen? When I saw the SZ in person this is what turned me off from buying that comp.

    Either way, looks like a sick addition to the Sony line.

    The keyboard and the palm rest are both white. I believe that the screen has a glossy finish similar to the SZ.
