    Yeah, keep an eye on CES coming up soon. Last year, Sony announced new laptops at CES; I'm sure they'll do the same thing this year. :)

    IIRC, the Z began shipping late Feburary to early March. The problem wasn't Sony, or any other manufacturer for that matter, it's Intel (they too announce their new chips at CES), since everyone uses their chips, Intel always runs low on supply and the demand is so high.

    Let's hope that Sony will release laptops with class 1 GPU, something in the range of Radeon HD 5850.
