    Hey everyone,

    Just a quick question (with hopefully a quick answer)

    what is the 3 series equivalent of the sz491n/x in terms of form factor (the 491 is like 0.2 inches thinner than the rest of the sz series due to the led backlighting and premium carbon fiber)

    there is a sz390 but thats is customizable model
    there is a sz381p/x -- i wasn't sure if this was it -- is it?

    The SZ381p/x is the equivalent in the SZ300 series. It's got the same premium carbon fiber casing as the SZ491n/x, but the specs are a bit less, but that's not too much of a loss as the 200GB HD in the SZ491 is a 4200rpm drive vs. the 5400rpm in the SZ381

    vs.
