    it has been almost a week now that some countries in Europe got their revision of the Z series. When will this be available in the US? :confused: :confused: is this delay due to poor economy?

    I think they will be out soon since Sony has been clearing out a lot of Z lines from their site. Hopefully, they will be out sometimes soon. I'm still 15 days from my 30 days return policy at P1.

    probably not. 1.4k for a laptop like this is a decent deal (don't look around too much though, i'm sure within 1 month you will find it cheaper else where) lol. that's how all these electronic stuffs are all the time.
