    green and black are my favorite colors. My phone is green and black, my car is black with green rims, all my pants are black and I have a lot of green shirts.

    Guess what my next laptop is going to be? Not an HP dv6. Bravo, Sony, for being so brave and bold putting out a computer that seems destined to be in my life.

    that's right, only shows the 14" which has been listed for a few weeks now with Configure-To-Order option too, but no sign of CB 15"

    it's strange because C series should be launched very soon and if i read correctly SonyStyle Japan is shipping CTOs CBs on 9th april, UK SonyStyle can't be that far behind can it??!!

    Hope so.
    They said UK will get it by the end of March, so it's about time.

    But Sony has suspended operations at some of its Japan plants:

    The fingerprints will definitely stand out more on the black version.

    Does anyone know how a 6630 will compare to a 6550? I am considering getting a CA here in Canada, but I also have a 3820tg on my mind as well...

    I was looking at ordering one of these but you can't check out without getting an extended warranty, which adds at least 200$, and it won't let me use the SPRING200 coupon to get 200$ off. Anyone else having these problems?

    I am having the same problem too. Anyone know if/when the CB Series will be released in Canada? I am having second thoughts on buying the the C Series rather than the SA/SB Series.

    It will definitely make a difference to your boot times, application load times and overall system responsiveness.

    I was able to add the laptop to the shopping cart with no extended warranty, but if you have the issue, I would call Sony and order it over the phone just to be sure.

    I'm pleased to see that the Wifi adapter in the CA is Intel and not Atheros. Any clue how long it takes for Sony to build the systems? Mine is being built for a week now...

    I got notification early this morning that my CA has been built and is now on route to a European Warehouse. This took 6 days from notification that the order was in production.

    The terms and conditions at sonystyle state that: "Unless otherwise indicated, the purchase price of Products will be billed in full at the time of Product shipment. Sony will charge credit cards upon shipment. "

    My card just has been charged today (ordered 10 days ago) but the status page still says your Vaio is being built. I hope this means they shipped it and haven't updated the system yet.

    Same here. I plan to move my X25M-G2 160GB from my current laptop to this one. Mine is on its way from China.
    There is a single thing missing from it to make my ideal notebook. A caddy. I wonder how easy it will be to replace the optical drive with a second hard drive.

    Hey Billu,
    I placed my order on 03/15 and the status on my order status changed today to -

    Order Status: PAYMENT PROCESSED
    Estimated Ship Date: 03/29/2011

    Probably another week until I have the system delivered?

    -Sri.
