Another Vaio update coming out , possibly Euro-bound only.

Sadly, it's the next purchase.

I just noticed a special offer incentive from the SonyStyle site. It's a "$200 e-coupon with any PC purchase*" includes VAIO notebooks. and the small print states "e-coupon can be used towards the purchase of any products...

I too am disappointed with the US S series' specs. I'm hoping for a custom config with better options, but my hopes may be in vain.

Here is Sony's press release. The spec sheet is quite disconcerting.

The VAIO Type-S will officially be released in the U.S. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040608/latu025_1.html

With the 4.8 lbs, I must have opted for the docking station and possible extended battery

Woot!!

I could be totally wrong, but I just noticed a 2.0 GHz Processor listed on Sonystyle' web site. I don't recall seeing this option before on the custom configuration page. It's an addtional $1000 from the 1.7 GHz base cost.
