Looks like Circuit City has removed images. Maybe not final design?

More like they were leaked too early.

Its almost definitely the final design, and I'm pretty sure they were pulled because they were leaked early against Sony's wishes.

As I mentioned on the original post these are fairly nice looking machines. I had a TZ for a while and I liked the overall design. The 11" screen was a bit much for my eyes, but the design was quite nice. I'm glad Sony migrated their other machines in that direction. Thank goodness they finally got rid of the touch typist's nightmare of a keyboard. My only wish is for Sony to finally drop Alps as the touchpad OEM. I don't know why Sony continues to use such subpar hardware.

yea it was an early leak, sony is expected to make announcements on July 15th, so they weren't too happy with the early leaks.

Also if u match the designs with the sketches in the leaked manuals (also available in the orginal new design post) they match up pretty well so i think these are most likely the final designs

yeh, Alps is horrible. the synaptics touchpad on my Asus W7J- is a joy to use. the Alps on my TZ is a pos...

I'm really liking the looks of the VAIO FW. The only time the F series looked nice (and not tawdry) was with the VAIO FS. What's best, the FW not only look very much like the FS, it also manages to capture key design elements of Sony's most stylish laptop to date - the VAIO Z1.

I'd get one in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Too bad though, doesn't look like it'll happen cause I already have a decent gaming desktop. Maybe early next year.

New FW reminds so much to Sony's old PCG-Z series:

I am using that laptop right now!!!! It has amazingly lasted for about 5 years now! Still runs like a charm. Can't to anything hard core, but is great for email and web.

any chance for the GPU to be better than AMD's? FW looks very impressive.
