    Hi,
    All notebooks in year 2012 including MacBooks contain 1600 MHz RAM but the new VAIO S13 and S15 which have only 1333 MHz, that's a disappointing, any ideas whether if Sony will release a newest VAIO S15 in coming fall supporting 1600 MHz?

    The performance difference from 1333 Mhz to 1600 is not enough to worry about, if you like the laptop. That being said, I could imagine that Sony would update the S15 aroung Xmas to go with Windows 8. But then again maybe not. Sony does not sell as many laptops as HP and Dell etc... they need to get rid rid of their stock of 1333 Mhz ram.
