    Hmm, well I recently purchased an SZ120P/B model from CC, but then just recently, I found out that there also another model called VGN-SZ120P as well, so I was wondering, are there any different between these two ?

    Ps: Well I also wanted to say that after a month of searching, I quite glad of my decision by getting the SZ120, it was a great machine in both stylish and performance =). Ohh and it was great to finally be able to become a part of this Sony forum =D

    My packaging had a /b on it, but the machine has no /b on the lower left of the display where it shows the model number. Does yours have the /b on the lower left of the display bezel?

    I was under the impression that the two machine model numbers indicate the same machine. I don't know why Sony has that differentiation in the model numbers.

    Don't know for sure but perhaps the difference is

    SZ120P/B

    The P stands for Professional and the added B is for the bluetooth. Perhaps it is an option on some.

    The B does not stand for bluetooth. The B means it's sold through Sony's retail channels like BestBuy, CompUSA, Circuit City, and others (B for business).

    Lol sorry about that man. I really didnt read your post. But it does p/b is on the box. And as far as i can tell. There no difference between any of these models. They all have bluetooth so that couldnt be it.
