Default New Sony FW available @ CC

Hey the new FW (possibly SR as well since the black one isn't an FW) Sony's are listed at Circuit City. Supposedly they are are available locally, but none show up in any of the stores in my area. They look very nice. Anyways, take a look for yourself.

Default Re: New Sony FW available @ CC

Circuit City says these two machines are the same size, so is the keyboard bigger on the black one or what? The silver one has way more space on the sides yet they are supposedly the same width ("mid-size", according to CC, hehe).

PS: They don't have them here (Chicago burbs) yet either...

How is it possible that design of FW looks even better than SR ? From the first pictures (as it really looks like SR) I hope the Z line will look better

About the FW: They have the processor wrong, it is the P8400. And is 16.4" really a "midsize laptop"?? And why does it say no fingerprint reader when there is one in the photos? And what graphics card (if any does it have)? Why did CC not show that info?

So the SR really looks like an updated SZ model. interesting.

I think the FW looks a bit better than SR, but that may have to do with the boring color of the black SR. SR will be available in different colors so that would make it more interesting.

Impressed with the pics of the FW! Great job Sony, even if I will never take a 16''4... If it was 13''1 I was sold!
The SR seems the SZ with the keyboard of the TZ. Looks nice but is quite dissapointing that is not so slim. Can't wait for the Z series too.
