    Any comments between the two? The specifications for both of them look too similar...

    Thinking of getting one of the two, but not sure which I should go with.

    where did you find specs for the f8sn ? i only know the ones of the f8sv ( i am interrested in both myself, since i really would like to get 1440x900 which isnt available on the m51, but if the f8sn has it, ill get it (if the price isnt huge in regards of the m51sn)

    Specs for F8Sn are here.

    Both the F8Sn-A1 and the M51Sn-A1 run $1050 CDN each.

    Hmm, I guess there are only two big questions you should ask yourself in regards of those lappies:
    14 or 15 inch screen
    what keyboard do you want.

    I personally will go with the m51 since i want the "full" keybord and i think i wont mind the ress too much or i can get a hold of a shop that caries it with the wxga+ [which i would deinitly appreciate]

    I dont know if there is a difference between built quality though, but looking at the price and that its form the same manufacturer, i wouldn't think so.


    *edit* look what i just found: the m51, named m50sv, same specs, BUT wxga+ resolution AND bluray drive, PLUS better cpu for 450 more, without bluray and even better cpu 1350

    I am definitly considering those two ^^
