    I am in the market to buy a SZ notebook, and would like to know the different between the 110, 120 and 160 pre builts. No bs, and I dont care about the software... just strictly hardware differences. I want to justify why I could throw down 500 bucks more for a 160 versus a 120.

    I am currently using a vgn-s360P with 1gig of ram. I use it heavily for graphics work (photoshop, illustrator, in design, bridge all at once). The load times arent bad but not terribly efficient. Unlike most users, I beat the living crap out of this laptop everyday, 10 hours straight. After 1 year, absolutely no problems. Since the duo is out and could help me a lot with what I do... I am going to stick with SONY.

    Yea, I know I should really be looking at a mac pro book, however, my small company requires me to use windows for other applications at the same time. Apple is great for things, but where I am it causes more headaches more than its worth.

    Could anyone post the specs? thanks.

    either the sz160 or sz180.

    the sz180 looks appealing, however I am awaiting for a place where I can pick up the laptop with no tax and free shipping. I would never buy from best buy or any retail outlit... its not worth paying $230 to the man ;)
