13.1 inch
Like stated in the specs, the screen size will be 13.1" and not 13.3". 13.1" seems to be the new 16:9 standard for this size category for laptops.
Awesome
I have been waiting for an update to the SZ line before I make the jump.
I can't wait for these new laptops and the built in HSDPA is awesome!!!!!
