    I think I'm canceling my order if I can(it already shipped) or returning it, I didn't pay this much to have an out dated computer lol.

    Yes I too would definitely return it. The 940XM will be the top mobile CPU till 2011.

    I guess for the people who got the 920QM I could kind of see returning for the newer processor. I'm getting my M15X later today with the 720QM and only a single digit percentage increase is not worth the hassle of sending it back.

    How long do I have to return it? Does something have to be wrong with it?

    i see that u have ordered it with a GTX260m..... 5850 is much better unless u are using CUDA for video encoding... and it different for different countries.. If u go through the technical team. they won't charge you anything for the return, that is if you have any problems with your m15x. And since you have GTX260m and 920xm you will definitely experience throttling... Anf throttling is a valid reason to return your laptop... I had almost returned mine until i came across throttlestop and rivatuner fix by Joker and Unclewebb...

    Sounds like a good excuse, I was gonna get the 5850 but I wanna do 3d bluray and my vision kit doesn't work with ATi.
