    I can't see any mention of any member of the V series on any of their websites. Did they decide to not make any new ones?

    That's too bad, the B and the P series lack decent gfx cards :(

    Yes, the V series are no longer in production, and the new business line notebooks are the B and P series. The VX series however, were not replaced by the G series. There will be a VX5 that's due to be released soon.

    VX series is the Lamborghini series so the G series is completely different.

    The VX5 apparently has a 1GB GT130m GDDR3 GPU.

    That's too bad since the B series doesn't even have a gfx card and the P series doesn't seem to be offered in the United States (I think?)

    The VX5 looks like a beautiful beast of a laptop! I'm afraid it's going to cost over $3,500 though...otherwise I'd be all over it (if it ever comes out...supposedly this quarter).
