    Although the m17x has not yet been reviewed or something but will its performance be any better than the M1730 since both of them are almost same.Also are subwoofers in laptops of good quality.

    If the m17x comes out in a montevina platform, then it will be better than the m1730. Otherwise the m1730 is the better choice.

    Although obviously the M1730 will presumeably also be upgraded to the montevina since there is no reason why it wont.

    AW needs to get back on the ball and try to offer something more compelling although the M15X was a radical product I have to admit. They need more of those NEW things, not just a rehashed M1730 in a different case.

    Please don't create threads like this anymore . . . they are not helpful. If you can't decide, post in the What Notebook Should I Buy forum. Thanks.
