Other SZ Premium models...

I was browsing around Sony's site and I happened upon this page (note that this IS a north american website):

Now, in addition to the known VGN-SZ160P/C, it also shows a 150, a 170 and a 180.

The 150 comes with 512mb memory and an 80gb HD. Forgive me if I'm blind, but I can't see any difference between the 160 and 170, and the 180 supposedly has a T2500 (2.0ghz) CPU. Think any of these - especially the 180 - will ever see the light of day?

And for those who care, here's a nice thickness comparison of the standard and premium editions (although for some silly reasons the photos aren't the same size):

 

Sony frequently rolls out several configurations for each model over time, so yes, I suspect most, fi not all of those will come out.

 

Thanks for the premium information. I hope that they have them at the Sony store I will be visiting Saturday.

 

I emailed sony earlier about the WAN models (170 and 180) and they replied back that they have 2 WAN models planning to be released in March. So I think that's the difference between the 160 and 170 since they said there are 2 WAN models and I'm positive the 180 is one of them.

 

Wow, looks a LOT like the TX series if you ask me.

 

Must be - but they forgot to include that in the list of specifications they're comparing!

Here's some other fun Premium photos...
