    If the SZ150 has the LED screen get that one. If I could sell mine to buy that, I would.

    Why is it such a touch decision?

    If you want to wait for the upgraded model and spend the extra $400+, get the 150

    If you don't want to wait (and I'd guess this is the case since you have already purchased memory upgrades, i am pretty sure i saw that on another of your threads), get the 120 right now

    Keep in mind that almost anything you buy is going to just about be already outdated, as Intel has a new Dual Core architecture coming out over the summer

    Trust me i already know about whats coming out. I have a close to $5,000 desktop and i feel its already outdated.


    This is more of a toy. Its really no big deal i just want to know what all the SZ guys think i should get.

    Not really looking for "Need" or anything. And if i wanted top of the line i'd just the the Dell 1710 coming out. Im only using this for basic pc usage and to keep me from getting out of bed when i want to look at something online. :D

    Stuff like that is what a Tablet-based PC is for, great little devices (well, maybe not so little) to browse around with

    Yeah im not a tablet pc fan. Exposed screens are a no no around my gf who likes to jump on my back all the time.


    My cousin has the new TX, and he brags about it all the time. I may have to get 150 and show him what the carbon fiber goodness is all about. :p

    But after i do get my notebook give me about 2 weeks and ill put together a hdd swap guide for everyone. And who knows maybe a cpu upgrade guide also.

    Oh and im trying to keep a $2,400 budget here lol.

    I voted for the 150. If you're going all out, why not go a bit further? Besides, the carbon is awesome and the LED screen is super nice.
