    It is an amazon coupon to get 20% off

    unfortunately I only placed an order from amazon, as a backup for my wife..

    I did not mean to resell here. But if my wife does not like new Z, as we already have 2 Z1s, I might just resell it at my cost ~1600.

    Yep, I have two more of those baby's! Although, I still prefer my Z1.

    Funny thing is my wife does not like it either, but she will be stuck with it and I will be taking her Z1. Deals and deal baby! LMAO :)

    I just got mine today too. In fact I'm typing this message on it.

    Fedex recorded that it shipped from Japan yesterday, and it arrived today (well before schedule). How in the world it got here from Japan in 1 day is beyond me.

    Anyway, lovin the laptop right now. It's impossibly light and nearly as fast as my i7 desktop.

    Hi lads please post any reviews / thoughts / photos etc of the new Z21 in the owners thread in the owners lounge. It'll be easier to keep track of everything! Thanks

    I can quickly say that the build quality is better for Z2

    keyboard...hmm...I am not a fan of Z KBs always, so this time it is same. too small for me

    display: can only say: fantastic

    I think the Z2 is better for man, than woman...

    looks fairly robust, without losing sexiness

    I guess my wife does not like BLACK

    I am still waiting on Amazon to ship my second Z2

    Amazon coupon lived for a day, I guess they found out that actually they lose money by offering these codes.

    Is Sony still offering just a measly 5% discount on the Z2? And what happened to the PS3 offer?

    Did she ever tried one? :D Sorry I couldn't resist! :)

    Anyways, what about hinges? Are they more solid comparing to previous Z? And what about those rubber feet below screen? Hope they won't wear-out in a short time.

    Do you have any issues with trackpad buttons? Some people complained about them.

    Cheers,
    Miki

    I'm too new to PM you, but I'll take it as long as shipping isn't too high.

    Any accessories? Warranty?
