    I can't wait for those reviews to come, I really want them to compare it and the Sony VAIO S-series.

    I wish I could try this model out at Best Buy, but I doubt they'll have both the Y series and S series there.

    S series is for more power (CPU+GPU), Y series is for superior battery life.

    Yeah I heard that, a lot of people claimed the battery life is around 5 hours which is very good.

    I don't know what the battery life of the Y-series is yet, I also care about whether the Y-series can handle multimedia playback like Zune Software (which is the most intensive I use). Particularly playing music I have saved on my harddrive or streaming music through Zune Marketplace.

    If the Y-series can handle that just as well as my HP dv4t I'll get the Y-series.
