    On the only link that works (EU one) it looks like it *DOES* have GF7400 video but it's twice as heavy as the SZ-series.

    EDIT: OK, maybe just 50% heavier. :)

    So it's essentially an SZ w/o and integrated webcam that's a little heavier correct?

    Wow, Spring Green, Urban Gray with the orange, and Blush Pink are some ugly colors (yes this is coming from a Dell Inspiron owner). That has to be one of the worst shades of pink I have seen and don't get me started on the Green. Fortunately Black and the availability of a white notebook that's not from Apple make up for it. To bad the white one can't be equipt with the 7400 though.

    Come on, let's be fair now. The pink aint that bad... for females. I can imagine women going crazy over such a laptop. You know something called Hello Kitty? Yeah, the laptop reminds me of that. Can't agree more with you about the green though. At least they shoul've used a white keyboard. :p

    That's coming from someone a female who likes pink my friend. It to light. Not a fan of the petobismol (how ever that's spelled) bubblegum colored pink.

    The Espresso Black looks exceptionally good. Quite overpriced though.

    btw, the caption for the individual pic of the black is wrong.

    If you look at the top picture, the Pink one does have a white or light grey keyboard.

    For some odd reason, it looks a bit like an Asus Z71V.

    you're not alone. the design reminds me of something Uniwill or Quanta would make.. not your typical Sony.. although I sure hope this one has a better keyboard than the SZ series.

    Seems so, more like an upgraded "FJ-Series with the core Duo and fancier colors? Here are the FJ's.

    [​IMG]

    Even the FJ had built-in webcameras, I suppose Sony wouldnt put a high price tag on these C series notebooks.

    Now if I was to buy one of them, it would be the Urban Black Series (if I cared about GPU) otherwise the Urban Grey (looks really nice).

    And wow the Urban Grey has a matching them to the Logitech V400 Mouse, Grey + Orange, that would look so awesome.

    I'm definitely interested in the Urban Grey or Black ones. Nice to know that discrete graphics is available as well. Prices aren't bad either.
