    They are all Premium models, with carbon fiber casing and LED backlight.

    SZ450 - C2D 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB 5400rpm HDD, no WWAN

    SZ460 - Same as SZ450 but with WWAN integrated (GPRS/EDGE module)

    SZ470 - C2D 2.16GHz, 2GB RAM, 200GB 4200rpm HDD, WWAN

    SZ491 - Same as SZ470 but with "Premium Black Carbon Casing" (a bit different/exclusive colour and finish)

    I don't blame him for asking. It's very confusing.

    Thanks Matta! Thats exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to figure out what WWAN is... google here I come.

    Sucks that going from 160gb hard drive to 200gb hard drive reduce speed from 5400 to 4200rpm

    WWAN is basically data service via Cingular (for the SZ anyway). Coincidentally enough I received my first bill yesterday for $2.23
