    Thanks for the news tip off Sphere! This is great, I expect a lot of notebooks to be announced from every manufacturer in the next 2 - 3 days.

    Other than the CPU, what kind of updates should we expect with the new SZ series (as compared to the S-series of course)? I bought a VGN-S56GP from Hong Kong just a week ago, and although it's definitely "bad news", it'll still be nice to know.

    When these laptops are announced, when will they be available for configuring/ordering online?
