    It will reportedly also use 15.4 inch non-3D screens at higher resolutions than the 15.6 inch WXGA 3D screen.

    No word yet regarding price and release date, but the 17" model (G71) will apparently use DDR3 ram.

    According to this the G50v will be Centrino 2 (PM45), will support up to 4GB of 800MHz DDR2 ram, and will supposedly have dual hard drives.
