    Does anyone know of a chart or some datasheet that compares all the various models of the G50VT?

    I was considering getting an A1 for a while, but Amazon just listed a V2 for sale, and near as I can tell, the only difference is 1 360GB drive vice two 500GBs, and a T9550 vice the T9400 CPU.

    I've seen one very useful forum post on here that had a few of the X models and the A1/2, but nothing that has any V models.

    A1's supply is drying up, its getting replaced by B1, with better CPU (2.66) and 2x320GB 7200rpm drive as oppose to 2x250 (in A1), still no bluray; I think B1 also have upgraded webcam.

    G50vt-V2 is just B1 with 1 less HDD, but has also the upgraded webcam (like B1), up from 1.3 mp to 2mp, it has also 'Solid privacy protection' , what ever that means. Part of Amazon's V2 is listed as '2.0M pixel web camera connect the end users with their close ones easily' , as a feature, sounds almost like a dating service...

    I think they should have made a G50vt with a P9600 (only cost an oem about $10 more than a t9550) and that would use 10watt less power and than put a gtx260 or 9800m gts at least or something...

    Than again I am glad they have not because than I wouldnt want my notebook anymore... haha

    Well, I ordered the V2 and a new 320GB hard drive to go with it. Not a bad deal overall. Thanks for the info guys!
