Controversy: Sony SZ160 – Confusion Over Carbon Color and Carbon Fiber

by

The Inquirer is reporting that Sony’s VAIO SZ160P and SZ160P/C notebooks and model numbers are leaving people (and Sony’s tech support and sales people) confused, as some models maybe shipping as “carbon coloured” with plastic casings rather than being made out of carbon fibre. This information came out of a couple of forum threads at NotebookReview.com. This concerns the differences between the P and P/C models as well as variations between countries. Note that we don’t have the full details yet, and will post them as soon as we have them.
