    I have been intending to get an M50vm for quite a while but haven't got around to it yet.
    Now I discovered that there are now some new versions.
    The N50vn, M50vn, and L50vn all seem pretty similar. Any comparison help? Is there somewhere I can compare all the builds for these three?
    Thanks a lot

    Here are some guidelines on what I'm looking for
    cheapest version of:
    Intel P8600/8400, not T9400 (want to save battery)
    1066 MHz FSB
    Nvidia 9650M GT
    1440x900 or 1680x1050
    320 GB min
    max battery life
    min weight & size

    EDIT: this is in Canada

    I think I've narrowed it down to the N50vn-B1B or L50vn-A1, leaning toward the former.
    I can't find anyone selling the M50vn though... only vm.

    Ok I've been looking everywhere, is the M50vn even available in North America??
    All the threads about it are from Australia or NZ...
