    What is this special model??

    It has T7300 instead of T7100 and fingerprint reader, but are these two the only major differences?? Or is it something else I should know??

    Also, is it worth paying 100$ extra for the T7300 + fingerprint reader??

    Hey, I actually bought this model and I love it. Last week they were on sale at best buy for only $999. You can't beat that price. I have not used the t7100 but I love the fingerprint reader. I don't know how much you are thinkin about buying it for, but the cr120 is $1349 at best buy and the cr123 is $1250 now. I don't know why it is cheaper because the cr123 is better. I asked the peope at best buy what the catch is.. there's gotta be something wrong with it.. He said he thought the exact same thing so he looked and there is nothing, it only better. He said he thinks sony did it because they are trying to compete and take customers away from hp and the dv2000 line that they have because in the last year they have done really good with it. I know first hand, I am one of the ones who had a dv2000 and as of right now it doesn't even compare to Sony. Hope this helps

    Yeah, it does help!, thanks =]

    But sadly I live in Paraguay and right now with my credit card I have to stick to amazon. And things there are like this:

    120 = 1250 US$ (w/o taxes nor shipping)
    123= 1350US$ (same thing)

    Anyways, I'm buying one of these two =]

    120 is cheaper and I totally love sangria color... is soooo elegant... but I'll have T7100 (i can OC though)

    125 is 100 bucks more expensive but... T7300, fingerprint and a nice bussiness-like black paint =]

    Is it black black?? 'cause it's hard to tell from photos =P

    Yeah it is black black. I love it but I love black gadgets, my phone, mp3, camera. Hmm, maybe I should change it up sometime. The black isn't like a shiny black though, its dull.

    I really like the red too, have seen it in person and it looks very good. I like that the inside of it is all black. I'm dont really like the blue and white ones though.
