    a) CR/CS Series
    b) TZ Series
    c) SR Series
    d) TT Series
    e) Z Series
    f) AR Series
    g) AW Series
    h) FW Series
    i) NR Series
    j) NS Series
    k) BZ Series

    Thanks for taking the time to take part :)
    After a week or so I will sort out all of the results :D

    Where's SZ? The Z series looks nice, but it reminds me of old the TX models. I don't know, I'm still in love with my SZ650<3. If I had to choose one from your list, I would go with the TT.

    I like the look of the TT, but would vote Z overall as it's a great combination of power and mobility. :)

    The current VGN-Z series would be the favorite series that I actually owned. All time favorite would be a toss-up between the original SR series (back in 2000) and TZ.

    b) TZ Series!

    I know the Z is awesome, and only slightly heavier than the TZ, but every gram matters to me since I'm very petite! Also, the Z is only available in black, which is too manly for me. :p

    The design for TZ is really beautiful. I love its white! :)

    Well, my first Sony laptop is the FW and I've been surprised by the build quality and its sexiness so even though I haven't owned any other Sony laptops, based on fooling around with them, the FW is my favourite one by far. The silver trim, plus white cover and keyboard, and the glowing power button, awesomeness.

    The Z, without question.
    My TX1 comes a close second.
    I went from N505, to R600, to Z1SP, to TX1, to SZ3, then the Z.

    1st - Z
    2nd - TX1
    3rd - SZ3

    But the Z wins by a mile!

    Yes, where is the SZ??

    I love mine.
    I've "fallen in love" with it since it came out - now I've got one and wouldn't change it for the world :)
