    There should be a reason why they discontinue the product! Maybe something wrong with it or they're going to have a new one out!

    yeah he told it it was the card only and no cameras were available. I love this notebook and think i may get one pre built at best buy, do you think this could last 4 years during college?

    if youre good and like the unit get it. or wait for dell. I heard dell just released the new 12in model that rocks. Although not as nice looking as the sony.

    It's discontinued because Sony has released the successor which has an improved Graphics Card (Geforce 7600 vs. 7400) and higher processor clock speeds. So if you're interested in gaming I would definitely wait for the new model. Search the forums for more details on it.

    @starstreak, how can the Dell 12inch compare to the FE??
