    I noticed this but right now Sony have the same computer for sale at there website but just the model number is different. If both the VPC-EB3QFX and the VPC-EB3CFX is the same exact machine why does Sony change the model number? I talked to Sony techs and they said both are exactly same machines. They should of just kept the VPC-EB3QFX which is the same one as mine as current since the VPC-EB3CFX is the exact same specs and machine.

    If i could even get sonystyle to load right now.... lol. Minor revision that doesn't affect appearance or specification? Teir 1 wouldnt know unless it was a hot issue btw. Just googling turns up some price differences but of course these are different retailers, that happens.

    Well on SonyStyle.com website they are selling the VPC-EB3CFX which is the exact same machine as mine but just my model has a Q instead of C. So mine is VPC-EB3QFX.
