    Has anyone gotten their hands on one of these notebooks yet?

    I'm considering putting an order in for this machine as it has all of the features I need: AMD x2, webcam, DVD burner, bluetooth, X1600 graphics w/ 1680 x 1050 display and a ton of memory and hard drive space.

    Are there any other manufacturers out there that offer a notebook with these same specs, or will offer soon?

    You could also consider Acer's own TravelMate 8204WLMi, which has essentially the same specifications, except with a Core Duo T2500 in place of the Turion X2 and of course, minus the fancy case.

    Other notebooks you could look at include the Asus Z96J and Compal HEL80, probably cheaper than the Acer when fully spec'd out.
