    I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks while I try to make my upgrade decision and would like to thank everyone for the good information here.

    I am planning on upgrading, most likely next week, from my Sony PCG-GRX570. THe 570 still serves my purposes well but it is just too big to lug around. I have been looking at the IBM X40 but have just about decided that an S model will serve me better and not sacrifice any real portabilty.

    I have been using this site, http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/B2B/downloads/S170_skus.htm ,
    to compare models. Can anyone tell me how I can tell which models have the 9700 video? I understand the diffilculties determing bluetooth but that feature is not that important to me, only an added bonus.

    I am currently leaning toward the VGN-S170PVN1 and purchasing from pcnation.com. Any help and comments will be greatly appreciated.

    The M11 is the 9700.
