I think the S is a much better deal, they kind of neutered the B by removing the ATI GPU that was in the Z1 and going with integrated graphics. :(

Yeah, I found that it was odd that they took out the ATI GPU. I guess it really is B for Business and B for Boring. I guess they have a lower price going for it (compared to the Z1 series) and the better warranty.

I still liked the Z1 design and color scheme. I wished they would have made it into a widescreen version. I like my S’s design as it’s no-nonsense but think it might be sexier with a Z1 like body.
