    ****English is not my native language so I hope you all will understand me. (if it is not polite or wrong please tell me so I can avoid it next time.)

    1) Here in Thailand room-temperature around 35 C and over 40 in summer that when I say goodbye to my old MSI PR200.

    Can Z stand that temp?

    6-8 hr/day with light programming , HD play ,heavy gaming on holiday.


    2) Intel release i5 580m is fall. is the next z coming with that?

    I'm consider get z12 (it "sony happy day" here. I think I can get some discount) or wait.

    Any info of minor change likes
    - basic ssd 128 ---> 196
    - usb 3.0 and other ports
    - (if miracle happen.) better GPU
    - screen

    will help me out a lot.

    basic z12 i5 540m 6g of ram 128G SSD is 79990฿ I think it about 2500$ tax make it more expensive so I want it to be the best. Not get beat by the next model in one or two months.

    Thank you.

    Thank for reply.

    I'm not consider upgrading z12 but consider that the next model next month(z13? or z21?) will have some upgrade that I describe above.

    If it have at least one except i5 580m I will wait for the next model.

    and sony didn't do upgrade or CTO here.

    There are 2 only 2 models i5 ssd128 and i7 ssd256 HD screen sell here.

    (Well 40 c is not that hot for me but for pc.... I don't know. )
