    It should be out by late October or early November. The major delay being that most laptop manufacturers probably want to save the hassle and wait for Windows 7 to be released in October 22, 2009.

    But I'll tell ya, it's been a month since I sold my G50Vt and I'm not buying until the G51J/G60J are released.

    We won't be getting G60J in North America, only G51J because 16" does not have FHD resolution.

    Why would not having FHD in a 16" prevent the G60J from being sold here?

    I really want one it looks like a great deal if it has a GTX 260m and is only $1200. If it only has a GTS 250m than the G51vx-Rx05 is still the better deal, in my opinion, even with the Core i7 in the G60J.

    I was told all of their 16" panel only has 1366x768 resolution.

    But that doesn't explain why you said we wouldn't get the G60J in America.

    I guess between 15.6" and 16" they picked 15.6" Full HD.

    So they could only sell one new gaming laptop in America and they chose the G51J?
