    I love the bluy ray, push to tv, and hybrid drive for the sc, but I have heard they are wearing out fast. What are the advantages of both and disadvantages of both? I am about to start school on june 7th for paralegal certification and also need it for multimedia including adobe full suite, movies,etc.

    Do they both come with one or two dimm slots for RAM upgrade? As well as scroll/multi touch pad?

    I'm going to go to my sony style store to play with the ca since it has the 1600x900 option. Anyone know if the ca screen can be swapped into the s series?

    Many thanks!

    Best Buy version is cheaply built and they blue label sony's are notorious for quality control problems. Further, they use cheaper internals, etc. generally. (This has been confirmed)
