    I know all are running 2Ghz Core 2 duo, but beside the HDD, RAM what's the difference ?

    is it the CPU CHIP ? even it's the same 2Ghz ? some of it are not support 64Bit ?

    also, 48 runs vista while the others run xp. (all vista ready tho)

    The difference between the SZ2xx and SZ3xx/4xx is Core Duo vs. Core 2 Duo processors (and I think more standard RAM). The difference between the 3xx and 4xx is just Vista.

    The difference between the SZ48 and the others though is that (if the naming conventions are the same), the SZ48 is also a premium model, which means it uses carbon fiber for a thinner lid, as well as LED backlighting. The premium models are slightly lighter and thinner, have better and brighter screens, and get somewhat bettery battery life.
