    It's not only the SR that we cannot configure anymore.

    you can still configure the Z, but its not an option anymore on the SR. i hope its temporary, since I was planning on buying an SR after paying some loans I have, but if I cant customize, i doubt I'll choose the SR.

    There are many configurations available in retail and upgrading the hard drive on the SR is very easy.

    well, i've never owned a notebook so im new to this. not having the option to easily customize my purchase actually complicates things to a beginner like me.

    sony is probably already getting rid of SR's to make room for yet another new laptop/updated SR.

    Sony is REALLY REALLY bad with sticking with one product for a good amount of time. Sony is just downright inconsistent.

    Look at lenovo. Same keyboard for many years, for example. Sony makes new designs all the time, rendering yours "old" fashioned :D

    They update their hardware more than their software/drivers!!

    Duke is right in the sense that Sony will changing some of its notebooks; the SR and the FW. You should be able to configure again on Sunday sometime, I believe. Your options for different colors may be limited however...the FW for example will not be available in black anymore.
