    The S660 is based on the older S-Series with the single core Centrino. I've been using this type of laptop for a lmost a year now and no major problems have occured. You won't find any reviews because Sony rather unofficially released this notebook. Search for reviews of the S560 or S580, its basically the same laptop just with different specs.

    Can you post the exact specifications of the S660? It really depends what components are installed if it's a good deal or not.

    EDIT: Check this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=56455&highlight=S660

    @teamkillahilla - sounds like a good deal, but it's not a comparable laptop to the S660, it's a totally different class. You will always pay more for a smaller and lighter laptop than for a desktop replacement one.
