Couple of days ago there was an option on the Sony website to configure one of these new Sandybridge portables which just got released. So I decided to do a bit more research and after some head scratching decided the Sony was a fantastic machine. Sadly other people also realised this and they have now sold out of their initial stock of components :(

The girl at Sony said it will be a week or two before they get new stock so now I have to be patient. As per title I am looking for someone who has bought one of these and can give some initial impressions (build quality, performance, battery life etc.)..

It was a toss up between 1. Sony Vaio S 13" 2. Alienware M11x 3. HP Envy 14
 
Yeah it's mainly budget as I have around 1k to spend. Also for £1750 the Vaio Z doesn't really offer anything over the S since I really don't need a SSD drive.

I think for the money the S offers good value, the Z i'm not so sure...
