    Why is the Sony Z series laptop not available anymore on Sony's website? Are they in the midst of upgrading it or is it being replaced by the S series??
    Also, what's the difference between the SA and SB?? Are they both just S series? Or are they not available yet?

    The Z series is discontinued for quite a few reasons. Sandy Bridge is coming out, new NVIDIA 5XX series cards coming out, more competition etc. They just had to remove the current models and introduce new ones to be more competitive. I'm pretty sure the S series is not the Z replacement as the screens on the S are HORRIBLE! The SA is essentially just an SB with a better screen and made of different material. I do think a new Z is coming up in a few months though, so stay tuned.
