    Here's a link to where I'm selling my SZ-160 on eBay. Basically, I need a bigger screen as I do software development. Would have loved to keep it though as you can tell by my investment in RAM, docking station, extended warranty, etc.

    What was the price you paid? And are you sure yours is carbon fiber? I hear alot of people got duped in thinking it was and it wasnt.

    If it's a 160 it's carbon fiber. Period.

    It def is carbon fiber....you can tell by the darker metallic color...(although I have just read the other post about having a sz160 and not being carbon fiber....didn't know there was this problem)......Too bad it didn't work out for you, sorry.

    You need to hold the lid of the notebook up against a strong light to be able to see the diagonal stripes caused by the uneven surface of the carbon fibre. It is definitely there as a texture on the SZ18GP/C that I purchased in HKG.
