    I sold a sony z laptop recently because I wanted better graphics in a laptop, bought a 14 inch asus and it has a horrible screen, weight, and battery life. I really liked the sony's style and asthetics, it had a great design, great weight and awesome screen. So I've been looking at the sony sr since the design is very similar, yet has twice as good graphics.

    I've done a tonne of reading and videos and benchmarks and stuff, the performance of the laptop is what I want, but since no sony store seems to have a demo model on display, I just want to know what peoples opinion is between the PHYSICAL differences of the two. Anyone on this forum gone from the sr to the z? Why? Does the sr feel a lot more flimsy? Please let me know =)

    The SR would be my second preference behind the Z in terms of size, weight and battery life.

    However, if I was into a bit of gaming, I would definitely pick the SR. The design is very good (like all Vaios). The major difference is - the Z is wider in length and shorter in width.
