    I`m in the uk and looking for a new notebook, i was looking at the M17X but the price is crazy for a single graphics card system, i don`t need 2 graphics cards.

    I`m in the UK, is their an option to have the i7 820QM as i can only find systems with a 720QM ?

    Also, where is the best place to buy from in the UK ?

    What are you doing that requires a i7 820QM? I doubt you need one.

    I believe the resellers gentech and xoticpc ship overseas. They can also order one with a 820.

    u'll have to get it with a 720qm and upgrade to 820qm urself... or u'll have to order from a us online reseller like xoticpc.com or gentechpc.com which would put in one for u but u'll have to import it. anyways , do u really need a 820qm as both have similar performance.. also u can OC the 720qm on a G73 so u might not need 820qm..
