    What happened the Vaio TZ in Canada. For the longest time I never say it, then it appeared for a couple of days and now its gone again. I kind of prefer it over the TT.

    Did anyone else notice the price jump for the only Vaio TT model offered in Canada. I remember it being 1999.99 before but now its jumped up to 2299.99? I swear the specs didn't change, at least not $300 worth?

    Do you think Sony will refresh some of their Vaio notebook computers before Fall 2009?

    As for the TZ, may be they had a few in the inventory and now it is gone. I bought one last August and return it because of heat problems. I have TT now for $2000 at the time when Canadian dollars was starting to slide. The price increase is probably due to exchange rate.

    I miss the days when the Canadian dollar was on par with the American. I'm regretting not picking up more American dollars when it was.

    I got the TT (180c) about 3 weeks ago so when I saw that Sony updated it...I was pissed...until I read the specks. Its the same!!! There was not one thing I could see that was different except the price. 300 more for the same model. I think that it has to do with the exchange on the dollar. Glad I got mine for 300 less.
