    I see lots of SZ for sale, and there's one for just 1.5k on Portable One. Are the numbers in SZ# that important, and.. basically, what should I know?

    Thanks.

    Of course the numbers are important, each SZ model is different, in processor, hard drive, etc.

    But regardless to the model number, if I only looked at the specs and bought - would it matter much what model number it is?

    Like, does SZ6 have some unique features that SZ4 doesn't have?

    the sz6 has santa rosa, the sz4 uses the previous core 2 duo (forgot the name)

    sz6 also offers a hybrid hard drive.

    sz4 uses the go7400 graphics card
    sz6 uses the 8400gs

    im not sure if there are anymore differences

    The SZ6 is the refreshed, newest SZ with Santa Rosa whereas the older SZs use the Napa platform.
