When did you get your order confirmation with receipt ? I just got it, says that the laptop has been sent today but still no track and trace number . Usually laptops come the day after so im hoping it will come tomorrow, my new roommate will be home then .

I don't know where it is, but i have it on my pc so i have uploaded it to my ftp. http://www.nutral.net/images/inside.pdf

thinking about ordering one of these soon.. how's the build quality on it? does it feel "sturdy"? my old sz150 felt a little bit on the flimsy side, esp around the screen

I placed my order on Sat March 19th and got the conf/receipt same day. Just received the shipping conf w/ tracking number this afternoon. One thing to note, I selected express shipping as I was going to be out of town during the standard delivery period

What did you order with it ?
Would be terrible if i could have gotten my laptop earlier if orderd a week later.
Could be the sheet battery though, i haven't seen anyone that received it and had a sheet battery.

Really impressed with the build quality. My SZ3 flexed more, but obviously that was carbon fibre. All the metal makes it feel nice and durable.

i5-2520/8GB/500GB 7200/TPM, no 3G, no sheet battery.

I ordered before you though didn't I?

what is the amd gpu in it?

6470M, I think? Didn't pay for the upgrade.

Only been using the Intel graphics so far, although I haven't done any proper testing it does seem to run warmer on the AMD. The Intel will be fine for my needs anyway, I only got the 6470 because there wasn't an option to get rid of it!

Would a Toshiba make more sense if you didn't want a discrete GPU? Lighter and similarly equipped minus the GPU

That was certainly a strong contender, but in the end a few other factors swung it for the Vaio - like the fact I've had quite a few of them now & they've all been very good, and I badly needed a laptop & the Sandy Bridge Vaios came out first.

This looks like it will be a really nice laptop, especially for the cost - slightly more than half what I paid for my last Vaio!
