Sony Vaio SZ replacement

[isaaus]

hi guys

Time to get a lappy for my cousin, what would be the best replacement for Sony SZ series. Reason for my question is that i got SZ for my friend when they were jsut released and it was brilliant and she loves it, but now there are more options available in terms of CPU/GPU but I can`t find SZ with newer specs so i don`t think its worth the money.

Is there any other lappy with similar(or better) performance but in similar size/weight.

Thanks for help.

unfortunately the SZ series is still the same

Sony 'may' offer a new range soon as the new santa rosa platform has recently been released

as in terms of other laptop brands that are as high quality and have sleek nice designs, sony dominates and there isn't much else that comes close to them IMO

ibm/lenovo and dell latitute & precision series have excellent build qualities but lack the sleek looking designs (esp. ibm)
they're also physically larger

I've heard late July for a new series.

Don't count on much...

1. New "interim" models (SZ433, 483) are on their way

2. Sony's have around as much fat as macbooks, and get discounted accordingly.
