I am in a quandary. I am wanting a new laptop, and am stuck. The lenovos seem quite good machines (I have some hands on at a local retailer) but the Sonys do to. Lenovo, DDR3, on site warranty option. Sony... screen reputation..
I am just unsure. My configurations are similarly priced, but... and why would Sony not offer the P processor family?
Any thoughts?

sony also has onsite warranty, and a great one too!!!
the screen will be better on the sony, but the lenovo will have better built quality and battery life... if i were to pick, I would say the lenovo
edit: also just read that the battery wiggles a lot in the CR! so much actually that if you tilt it back unlocked, it will turn off!

Sony CR is being replaced by Sony CS series.
CS series is a fashionable laptop.
T400 is a business laptop. -
Is it a good idea to be the first to order something like this? It doesn't seem a huge change from the CR, but I still would hate to be the 'testing phase' guy. -
But you could pick up CR at discounted prices probably.
And you're right the differences aren't that big. -
-
BTW, it isnt a good idea to post in a sony forum if u want to get a fair comparison....
-
Besides, I have the same post on the Lenovo forum... and no responses yet.
So... do I wait for the CS or do I try to get a deal on a CR...
Hmmm.
I have a Sony Style store nearby, as well as a MicroCenter. I would love, if I went Sony, to pick up rather than order...if the config was good. -
I picked mine up in a sony style store too... the only downside is that you have to pay tax, and you cant configure it....
btw, I am selling mine, you probably wont want it, buts its worth a try...
edit: idk why the link doesnt work, but its a unused refurbished sony sz 460n/c with a extended battery and 1 year left on accidental warranty -
It also seems loose batteries are not confined to the CR. Has there been any scuttlebutt that the loose bat issue is corrected in CS? -
the sz is the precursor to the z,

are you ordering in the us? try to go to the next page or something
I do not know if the issue is corrected in the CS, since pretty much no one has it yet... but i would think you could just put a piece of tape in there....
Vaio CR or Lenovo T400
