Sony AR/AW Moddel history, what to expect?

I would like to know what the first Sony Vaio AR model had in it to the last model before the model line was discontinued, does anyone know of any links?

Also, because the Sony Vaio AW specs and listings are inconsistent, what can we expect from the CTO AW 290 CTO? There could be some knowledge to learn here from how Sony did the AR series...

 

Bump..... Bump.....

Thanks TonytheTiger, but what I meant was the FIRST Sony Vaio AR to come out and every upgrade after that until the AR became discontinued. I want to know how Sony updated the notebook so predictions can be made for future models of the Sony Vaio AW.
