    I'm waiting for Japan to announce these models, its strange for them to announce them last when its their home territory. :eek:

    Because Japan will have the best build to order options, far better than North America at least. A lot of the Vaios sold in Japan are custom made to order.

    Like here, if you want the premium carbon fiber finish on the TZ, you have to get the highest end model whereas in Japan, you can get it with the lowest end model with a Celeron M processor (Celeron is not available here). I think some here wouldn't mind getting a TZ with a Celeron if it meant a lower price....

    who do you buy from in Japan? and do they deliver worldwide (with warranty), I'm in Australia and expect the Japanese prices to be much better than ours.

    long shot but does anyone know if the new Z series will be sold in canada? I don't know if I want to import one, the duty alone will be a lot, roughly 250 to 300 bucks on it. :/
