    1. yes.
    2. depends on where you're getting it (geographically). Some models might still be getting it - check with the reseller you are purchasing from for confirmation.
    3. Please read the M50 Owner's lounge thread. The only practical difference is the cpu and gpu (which performs similar to 8600M GT. In general, the M5x series enjoy a fairly good reputation so far for a model that launched around 6 months ago.
