This has been out in Asia for over a year. Gray market import from Japan to HK, etc. Overall great unit. Specs are very midrange, and the tv tuner is lacking english lang. drivers (not useful unless you are receiving NTSC-J in any case). And drivers are subject to sony's standard "we've hidden your system's 5 most important drivers across 3 different FTP servers" policy.
Screen quality is outstanding (wide screen form factor), screen saver when keyboard is up doubles as an mp3 interface, looks sexy in the living room.
