    Does anyone have an idea when the 8930 is available? Was hoping to be able to get a new laptop before finals (late November).

    Where did you find it? I am looking for the 8930-6448 that was in the press release. I found a lower 8930 model on Newegg with a slower GPU and CPU, but not the 6448. Thanks for your help!

    Seems like the 8930-6555 has the 8400 CPU and the 9600 GPU.

    Was hoping to find the 8930-6448 with the 9400 CPU and the 9700 GPU.

    Press release was a while ago. Still nothing popping up on google. Hrmm

    Well I searched in some stores and couldn't find it, the lesser model indeed I could find but after some asking around in a store (Fnac) they told me I could buy that model only on their on line shop. So I did.
    Everything included (transportation, tax) it was 1805 euro's ^^
