    Someone wants to sell me a Sony SZ260P/C with Core Duo (not c2d) and i was wondering if it'll have LED backlighting?

    What would be a fair price to pay for it keeping in mind that it's in Canada? (sony prices are much higher here)

    I believe the specs are:
    -1.83ghz core duo t2400
    -1gb ram
    -120gb 5400rpm hd
    -about 6 months old

    SZ 260 is premium model and, yes, it has LED backlight.

    I wouldn't know for the fair price, cause I'm not from USA or Canada. :)

    easiest way to tell, is the cover. it should be super thin. the normal lids are much thicker. The led lighted lids were mainly used with the units with the carbon fibre covers.

    The Premium SZ models have had the LED back light from the first ship date in Jan of 06. I've got an SZ160P and it's got the LED backlight.
