The dm3z is the AMD version. From what I've read at the notebookreview forums, the CPU is about par with the SU7300 (not overclocked), but battery life is worse and it runs hotter. However, it generally works just fine, does look very nice and can be had for pretty damn cheap at Office Depot.
There's also a dm3t with the SU7300, but I don't think the Nvidia G 105M config is switchable. And it's more expensive anyway.
The rumor on the Amazon discussions for the UL30A is that the UL30vt (switchable graphics) may be released in North America sometime in December. That's the machine I'll be getting if it is.
I have a DM3z which I got from Office Depot. :) Plays Fallout3 on medium with only slight lag, and the only part that gets hot is the HDD because it is a 7200 rpm. And that is mainly when I am listening to music or downloading files. It is actually quite cool when I play Fallout. For the money you can't beat it for a small laptop.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
