I'm getting a little confused here. Is the soon to be released SR series meant to replace the SZ series? Which is suppose to be the higher end?

SR isnt mean to replace SZ , instead its another alternative to those who wanted to opt for mobility notebook rather than SZ.
the new Z series "might" be a replacement for SZ.

Ah thanks. Not too familiar with VAIO models. I went to check and apparently SR was meant to replace the low end models of SZ.

Vaio SR you mean. Just played with it just now. Pretty screen and not really heavy. It's something I don't mind carrying around

Finally! HDMI is pretty important but getting the Z series just for that port is pretty high for me. Any changes besides that?

Ah. Ok good. The only lacking feature is the port after all. In any case, Sony is wise enough to start selling it by Christmas I believe.

Seriously, think about it. The SR12/13 is quite updated in terms of specifications. I am really puzzled if Sony only releases a refresh with only an additional HDMI port and 256MB ATI HD3470. So that gives it the reason to charge a higher price? Or it can give it a boost in the processor and graphics card section (HD 36xx???) but that'll whacked the price out of range.

Honestly, Sony should have included the HDMI at least for the SR13. The hardware is already there and is capable for it. It just a connector and the necessary wiring.
Yes, the VAIO brand worth a lot more. The Vaio brand has a long history of computer products in Sony.

True. The higher range SR should include the necessary HDMI port in the first place. Maybe Sony wanted it in the Z series first, and then pass it down. But I do hope that there will be minimal price increase, or even better if the price remain unchanged.
