    It's actually the new C series (Engadget's headline is wrong).... the N series is the similar 15.4" line.

    I'm not sure that the C series is a killer; as the NBR article here points out, they essentially seem to be the SZ series but with integrated graphics only (or a GeForce 7400 only on the high-end black model) and considerably heavier and without the fancier case design.

    Seems like a reasonable package, and a good option if you don't need the higher-end options of the SZ, but I wouldn't call it a "killer" of anything.

    With the 5 pound weight, it's definetly not a killer. It would be a killer if they could bring down the weight to less than 3 pound.
