If i would go for the M6500 I would pay 4750 Euro.

 

youve won a watch there mate thats a hell of a discount

i doubt it will be a huge difference in sheer power , but the more modern platform of the m6500 does its thing alot more efficiently

but for whats basically a 1500 euro difference i wouldnt be caring too much

 

haha...yeah, 8x is crazy.... typo probably....

 

yeah....huge discount...take the discount on the M6400 and and get the M6600 when it comes out...unless, unless, some of us just HAVE to have the latest hardware....your call

PS: ask them if they will sell me an M6400 for the same price....

 

For 1500 euros, he can keep the M6400 AND buy a seperate desktop with better hardware than the M6500 ....

 

...that;s a great deal...

 

Thats crazy talk. I'm internet punching you for saying a M6400 with QX9300 is "an extremely slow computer compared to the M6500":
*Internet Punch*

 

hehe.....I caught that too.....that's still a monster..... That's also one heck of an idea in getting a high end desktop along with it for the same money....or even a nice light and thin travel notebook for a companion.
