I have been looking at the SR and the FW for a bit, but they came out in July of last year. When is Sony going to start releasing new ones? I can wait.
-
They wont until the next intel mobile platform comes out. Which will be a while. They are only 7 months old..........
-
the SR line was just refreshed a few days ago with new processor and hard drive options. not sure about the FW.
-
SR was refreshed? On what website?

i am guessing the earliest replacements for FW / SR / Z will be late 2010 (chances are it's going to be in 2011)
for example,
TZ released May 2007 ==> replaced by TT October 2008 ( 1.5 years) i believe they replaced it earlier because of a manufacturing flaw in the TZ)
SZ released March 15th 2006 ==> replaced by Z + SR ~ late August 2008 (2.5 years)
FW released July 2008 ==> ? i'm going to guess at least late 2010
the thing is, because of the pending economic situation, rumors are that they are pushing intel to delay the release of new mobile chipsets, meaning a further delay in the release of new models, meaning i wouldn't be surprised if a replacement model came out sometime in 2011
the FW/SR/Z are all new models, i don't know why you're even thinking about the next modelit's like asking when the new model for the SZ will be released (late august 2008) when it is only mid august of 2006, 5 months after the SZ was released
on a side note, it is best to buy the models now that they have just dropped in price and released the refresh. i don't know about sony, but with dell, they see what the problems are in the initial release of the laptop and then they fix it once they release a refresh -

I think new models will be available at the end of this year and the beginning of next. Nehalem is a big jump from Core 2, and since there will be quad cores and dual cores with integrated graphics, I think all the Sony's will be redesigned.

It all depends on when Intel will release Nehalem. With all this economic problems and shrinking profits I don't really see SONY hurrying to replace a still good and competitive line of laptops. They'll throw in the new 4xxx ATI chip later this year and then just wait for Nehalem.

What changes did they make in the 3 series SR?

The problem with computers is there is almost always something shiny coming soon on the horizon, so waiting just means there will be something else to wait for later as well!

I totally understand Nixon, but I don't want to be screwed over. I just want to run games at 1080p
I think I will go buy one at the Sony Style store near me. If I like it, I will return it and custom order a new one

We can't yet be sure the new 4xxx ATIs can run smoothly games at 1080p, that's a hard task for any GPU.
When are the new Sony laptops coming out?
