    I hear they are very sweet if you are looking to get a very durable, fast, great at multimedia( not that good in games though) laptop, and still offering great looks and *just right* size, YOU GOT IT!

    I can't see the supposed difference in the chassis between the SB/SC. SB silver models in the EU also come with a black keyboard.

    From what I can tell from the Canadian site, it looks like the SC has the high res screen. That seems to be a significant difference, right?

    not exactly since it may say 1600x900 on the site, on the specs page it states

    Resolution : 1366 x 768

    only way to find out is to see one in person and see if its true

    Good point. They have been terrible about posting their specs for this series.

    @Rachel
    Pull up an image of the SB and the SC and look at the images next to each other. You can see the area to the left and right of the keyboard are oh so slightly different from each other. SB tapers while the SC is flat.

    The splash picture of the SC looks like the S1 series. However, it's a bit odd for them to sell SB and SC side by side.

    Here are some pictures-spot the difference.

    As mentioned earlier, the "deck" of the comp to the left and right of the keyboards. The switches/powerbutton/stamina/assist buttons all have a slightly different shape.

    All very minor differences. IMO the SB looks nicer though. I like the taper design more because it's unique than the SC's more traditional aesthetics.
