Info only, I have spoken with Sony US support they have confirmed the US versions will be shipped with HDMI 1.3, I'm waiting for the Sony UK support to confirm if the UK versions will be shipped with HDMI 1.3 as well, this is vital to take advantage of the Dolby Home Cinema which outputs Hi Def Audio formats

There is your AW screen mentioned:

Does anyone know if the US version has a eSata port? The website does not list one.

Should be interesting to see if Sony will bring in the QX9300 to match HP's offering and if they can better price the AW closer to the cost of HDX18.

So the AW won't be all that good for gaming? I am looking at purchasing the AW for school/work/gaming.

AW is actually okay for gaming with the 9600 GT. It is a okay medium graphic card. Of course, if you are really into gaming, I will look into laptops with X700 or above graphic cards (I mean the Gateway 7811 is the cheapest gaming laptop you can buy at bestbuy now for like $1250 on special).
