    The SV model has the faulty Sandy Bridge chip and won't be shipped out until sometime in Q2 after the "fix" the JQ model is reviewed in depth if you frequent the owners lounge.

    If you have the time, I would wait for the SB version (the N73sv) since the battery life would be greater, with more power.

    I heard from a dealer that the SV model which comes in a month is an upgrade to JQ, as there has been some problem with the power supply. Further he said that the SV model uses a more powerfull i7 chip, but I can not confirm his info, by searching google.
