    It's not thin, but it's not overly thick either. It is very light though.

    For the new Z with the good screen, estimated Battery Life: 2.5 to 5.5 hours.
    I hop there's 4 hors for real life usage.

    For those of you clamoring to order one of these new laptops AND you have a Chase Sony Card, remember that there is a DOUBLE points promotion starting July 18th. Ordered or bought at SonyStyle means 10 points per dollar which is a nice chunk of points considering the cost of Vaios. :) I'll be ordering sometime after 7/18 or I'll go to the store if they are in stock...

    It's so dissapointing... :( I expected so much more from the FW series... :(

    Although it has a Montevina processor, DDR3 RAM is not included!

    Also, the ATI HD3650 is not offered as previously predicted. :mad:

    The SR series has an HD3470 for goodness sake! And it's only a 13.3" notebook.
    Wouldn't it make sense for the FW series to have something more than that?!

    The clouds darken the sky for us all today.
    Sony has left us to wait
    I wish all thee do stay
    Perhaps this is some bait
    Oh! Sony bring thy computer tray
    Full of VAIO that are released in the year zero eight
    I hear thee calling fellow mourners
    Let us rejoice when we see these new VAIOs selling on all street corners!

    I called Sony, spoke with Dimitri and he told me that he doesn't know when the site will be updated. He said hopefully in the next half hour.

    As mentioned earlier, he did say they should be available to order when it comes up.
