I am purchasing one as I post this. More later. This is Aventura Florida.

They have 10 metal mosaic left. More later.

Cool....
Thanks for the info & congrats on your purchase.
Kindly give us a mini-review of your new notebook later as well.

Sure thing. I'm in the parking lot, just finished opening the box to make sure; as I asked the guy if he was sure it was the right one and he said yes, then when he tried ringing it up he realized it was the silver $1899 model. But yes I now have the metal mosaic and looking at it I can now at least definitely say the top will not be a finger print magnet. In fact I doubt any prints will ever be visible on the metal mosaic or on the silver for that matter, as they also have the silvers in stock. Ok on my way home...

Please post pictures if you can, I always like to see real-world photos rather than studio shots. I am considering the Mosaic...

So far the thing runs very quietly in web browsing mode.
OK, very preliminary observations; the Z and the MBP running Oblivion simultaneously; the MBP is definitely louder. The Z is really not loud with the game running so far. I think it is quieter compared to most my past laptops. I would not feel embarrassed at all using it in a library even in a gaming mode. Mind you I've had the thing less than an hour. More tests, photos coming. -

Thanks. Is the Mosaic a decal or is it part of the metal?

IMHO, the Metal Mosaic design looks HOT!
-
I'm getting a boot up time of less than 45 seconds, and it feels like it's a hair above room temperature when doing light tasks. The mosaic is not metal. It seems to find more wireless hot spots than my Macbook Pro.

The Metal Mosaic costs the same as on the web page, $2349
and the basic silver costs $1899. -

I couldn't find anything decent in stock at the Sonystyle store so I found this Incase for my Mosaic Metal at the Apple store:

Notice everything seems to fit nicely if placed right and bulges are not unsightly.
I got a little peeved, having bought the BT mouse to find I did not know how to set it up. I walked back into the mall and had the guy show me. Not fair the symbol in the icon tray is a WIRELESS symbol which, if you run your mouse pointer over it makes no mention of Bluetooth. I sat in my car for a half hour in the parking lot messing with Control Center before returning the mouse for advice. Not smart, Windows 7.
Macs have a wireless symbol on the desktop in the upper bar.
Looks like the nVidia 330M is averaging about 16 FPS faster than my old ATI 8600M with the game Elder Scrolls IV.
Silver mosaic now in Sonystyle stores
