    I think that I will buy VAIO Duo 11 (Model # SVD11215CXB).

    Is GPS built in this model?

    Since it is not written even if it sees the homepage of Sony USA ...

    Would those who bought one model of the followings teach?

    SVD11215SVD112190X Standard, SVD112190X Enhanced, SVD11213CXB,SVD11215CXB

    I haven't taken possession of my Duo 11 yet (it is shipping on the 30th), but while I recall seeing GPS on the Duo 11 on a spec sheet, I can't find it on Sony's page... For what its worth, reviewers on sites like Engadget also claim the Duo 11 has GPS.

    Would you check whether GPS sticks, if VAIO Duo 11 arrives?
    Moreover, I write in and need your help.

    I can't see the GPS written on the spec sheet or on the box, but it shows up as a device in Device Manager so it must be in there.

    the salesmen at Harvey Norman told me it didn't have a gps when I first saw the Duo 2 weeks ago!!
