    My SZ was destroyed but the insurance is paying for it (hooray!), now I have to decide what notebook to get. I loved my SZ, it was thin (especially the screen), lightweight, fast, and well built. Makes me sad that they got rid of it. It appears that the next closest model is the Z, which seems nice but isn't quite the same. It looks as though the keys are smaller are further spaced apart (why??) and it looks a bit chunkier (especially the screen), although the other features seem nice.

    Does anyone know if there will be a debut of any new business class premium notebooks at CES in a few weeks? Should I wait or just buckle down and get the Z? Thanks yall

    No one knows the upcoming model. The best you can do is wait until next year. If you are really in need of a notebook, get it now. There will be endless waiting game as in technology keep changing.

    I've heard there will be new "AW" serie, actually AW will be bye bye and some new serie will come - 17.3"

    Nothing about new "premium" models, but Z is so hard to make better, so probably only hardware upgrade at end of january.

    Probably X will be upgraded, but new models will not be out for a few months?
