    Does anyone know where I can find recent SZ reviews, I'm planning on getting the SZ370P/C and would like a review of a recent model such as that, it'd be great if someone could find one for my exact model.

    Thanks! :)

    Hmmm...I have had one for a couple of months now. I may work on a review like the type you see on this site, but as for a CNET review or PCMag, they will just say that they have already covered the family of computers with their SZ review. The computer is FANTASTIC by the way for a highly mobile laptop.

    All the SZ2 reviews apply to the SZ3 basically because the only difference in the SZ3 is the Core 2 Duo and 1GB RAM module instead of 2x512mb Modules.

    As mentioned, look at the other sz2xx series reviews and then add on a little more under the hood, a little longer battery life (because the Core2 is more efficent in that regard), and the spacebar problem being fixed. Outside of that, the machine reviews very well, and wont steer you wrong.

    I know that I was hunting reviews just to get better pics... just wanted to stare at the thing until it actually arrived. :)

    Thanks guys, I just bought an SZ370P/C Premium Notebook from my local SonyStyle store yesterday and I'm already falling in love with it, it's a great notebook! I'm considering writing a review once I've tested it out some more. :)

    I reckon the keyboard is more noisy than others but it's not a big deal. The big keys are nice. :)

    i did not like the keyboard. its not too bad tho. depends what youre used to.
    if you want a quiet laptop, dont get the sz. or at least, check it out properly before (some models might be quiet , i dont know. but some are definitely noisy). for some reason not many reviews mention this.
    apart from that its a great computer. but it was reason enough for me to return it.

    Believe me! The SZ is quiet compared to alot of the 15.4 powerhouses. In comparison to other notebooks in it's class it is quiet, man!
