    Hey everyone, I am new to this forum and I am posting a question that I hope will get answered to help me pick which model is better suited for me. What is the difference between the SA, SB and SC models of the Vaio S Series?

    Also, as I am from Canada, what is the best price I could get? I noticed that there are some already made VAIO S laptops at around $999.99, but if I want to customize, it starts at a whopping $1399.99...


    PS: How is this already made S Series (SC model)?

    I noticed that in the picture, it has Dolby Home Theatre, but in the description, it doesn't specify....which should I trust? The picture or description?

    PPS: Do you think the extra $100 is worth it just to get the Blu-ray player? I don't watch Blu-rays on my laptop, only on my PS3...But I like the colour better, silver with black keyboard...I also heard this is the older version/model??

    PPPS: Is it worth the extra money and get the SA Series which comes with the 1600x900 res screen?


    Thanks in advance of all of your help in helping me with my dilemma!

    I would get the SA with the higher resolution screen.

    I am guessing the Dolby should be there but personally I see no advantage in using it.
