At four-pounds, I wouldn't call Sony's SZ7-series "ultra-portable", but if you can handle a notebook that's 33% heavier than Air, you'll get a powerful package. Engadget says the S27's are now available for pre-order and I just hit the SonyStyle site to see what they're offering. The starting cost is a tad over $1,400 but provides a decent spec list at this price: 120 GB hard-drive, a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 2 GB of RAM, Vista Home Premium, optical drive and 13.3-inch WXGA LED backlit screen in a magnesium case.
For an additional $112 or so, I'm more attracted to the next model up: carbon fiber case, 160 GB hybrid hard-drive with 256 MB flash module and a slight bump in the CPU to 2.1 GHz. Of course, there are integrated WWAN options and plenty more ways to increase your bill to SonyStyle too. You could go hog-wild with the Premium Edition for $2500. ;)

索尼SZ7预订开始：重量较轻，但功能强大
我不会把四磅重的索尼SZ7系列笔记本称为“超级便携”式电脑，但如果你能接受只比苹果的Air笔记本重三分之一的电脑，你就可以享受它强大的功能。
瘾科技说SZ7系列可以预订了。于是，我打开了索尼的官方购物网站，看看其价格和具体配置。
这个系列的笔记本起始价为1400美元，不是很贵，而在这个价格基础上，厂商提供了不错的配置：120GB硬盘，2.0赫兹的酷睿双核处理器，2GB内存，Vista家用进阶版，光驱，13.3英寸背光式宽屏液晶显示器以及镁外壳。
但对我来说，下面的配置更具吸引力：再加112美元左右，就可以获得碳纤维外壳，含256MB迅盘的160GB混合型硬盘，升级到2.1GHZ的CPU。当然，只要多付点钱，你还可以有更多选择，比如WWAN集成无线上网。如果你是发烧友，也可以花2500美元获得优化版本。
