    Hello. I saw Sony came out with the CS model.

    However I was disappointed to learn it does not have a discrete graphics option and the configurable options are minimal to say the least.

    I am looking for a 14-14.1" Business Notebook. Does VAIO have a discrete graphics with ATI model like Lenovo?

    Sony SR and Sony Z have discrete graphics, both are 13".

    Sony CS is definetely not a business notebook, Sony Z is.

    In Spain all CS Vaios have a 9300MGS, but CS series is much heavier than T400. I think the T400 is a much better option. You can have a look to Dell's Latitude E6400, too (Nvidia Quadro graphics).

    Am looking for 14 to 14.1" with the same weight range and performance as the Lenovo or better.

    I guess I'll stick with the Lenovo. If Sony had a 14.1" or so business model I would have consider it if it had similar specs.

    It is disappointing that Sony has limited 14.1" Business class options.
