Sony VAIO Z demo video is fully rendered, somewhat dizzying, still worth watching

When three SSDs just won't do, Sony's VAIO Z is the fix. We've had a chance to briefly see one in person, but still found ourselves oddly entranced by the promotional video embedded for your pleasure after the break. It shows a rendered Z floating about in space, flaunting its various assets (backlit keyboard, switchable graphics, side-talkin' power button) before ending with a branding slogan that's so powerful you just can't help but reach for that credit card: The Executive Decision. Yeah, we're getting chills here, too -- but that's probably because someone left the door to the trailer open again.

Core i5-520M (2.4ghz), presumably with optional upgrades.
Typically ships with DVD-RW drive, but yes you can expect Blu-Ray to be available.
I've been using a Z590 for a year now.
It's amazingly light for the power it has. Almost everything is awesome except for: keyboard (some keys screech, and the left CTRL looks like it is badly designed, I prefer thinkpads' keyboards) only two USB ports, the fan's somewhat noisy, it's extremely difficult to open up and change anything, to the point of cutting yourself, and the worst part, is that the battery discharges if you turn it off and disconnect the ac adapter.
I would buy a new one if these things were solved, I hope they are. Or I might get a Thinkpad T410s instead.
Carbon Fiber and Aluminum. God that's vulgar...
Okay, I definitely need this in my life. But what is the exact model number?
I have the old version. Guess where the rest of my life savings are going now.....
is the projector like real, and 3d, or is that just graphics
