    TSC1224, do you know when it's going to happen, exactly? Is it already confirmed?

    I got it... Next Thursday, July 17th!!! I've waited too long for this laptop... I can't wait!!

    BTW Asus U3 looks pretty good too

    XPS M1330 vs Santa Rosa based SZ vs U3
    The battle of 13 inchers... very tough to decide

    If I could configure U3 with a faster processor(C2D T7100 or better ) I won't even put XPS M1330 in that mix. I think U3 looks a lot better than XPS M1330 and looks matters to people who wants a nice looking laptop like sony vaio sz.

    It has integrated GPS, dedicated graphics that can be turned on or off via a switch, HDMI port(so does XPS M1330), eSata port, piano black outer finish and a leather finish on the palm rests(make it optional!!!!). Too bad it has no optical drive.... I wish it had a slot loading optical drive. I like watching movies on my laptop when I'm away from home but it will appeal to those who don't need or use an external optical drive. I think they didn't include the optical drive to keep the weight down. I wonder how much it weighs.....

    Like I said before, it's gonna be a tough one..... What do you guys think?

    Wow! We're close to know if this loooong waiting for the new SZ will finally come to an end. I hope I won't be disappointed...

    Regarding Asus U3, despite it has a nice design and some cool features like the HDMI and eSata ports, an integrated GPS (coool) and the same video card switch (just like the SZ), I do not consider it as a "competitor" with the SZ and the XPS M1330...since it will come equipped with a low voltage Intel processor and with no optical drive.

    But, it's still an option.
