    Fantastic. Hopefully we'll see Blu-ray as an option for the Z series.

    Oh really?
    Crikey, that must have happened since I started living under a rock.

    ..just kidding, my bad for using minus sign.

    What I meant was: SSD plus HD minus DVD

    In Japan and the US, it is possible to have a 2.5" HD in place of the DVD (or Blu-ray) drive. However it's only available CTO.

    Aha... now I see what you mean. :) Yes, maybe it'll be an option. I know that a couple of users on here have successfully ordered the spare parts for the SSD+HDD model TZ to convert their SSD+DVD model TZ into the former. You need various brackets, cables and blanking plates, from what I recall. Not for the faint of heart, though (or for those who value their warranty much). ;)

    I read that customization will be available only in the UK, France and Spain... does anybody know if it's going to expand to other countries as well? :confused:

    However this service will be solely available for the TZ, Z and CS series laptops.
    At least thats what the article says.
