    Hmmm, that's really tempting. I will only rarely be running the dedicated graphics, and I somehow doubt the leap to Sandy Bridge is worth $300...

    Also, you might want to mention that they're $749 with a $50 rebate card (Stupid, useless AMEX prepaid card).

    Not just sandy bridge cpu, the gt 520m is superior to geforce 310m.

    But if you can pick up a u36sd for less then $700 then that's a good deal.

    i bought one of these 700.00 deals... I love it.

    the price was enough to sell me.. i mean HONESTLY how much difference will there be... if you need graphics ability, buy a laptop with a graphic card.... For 99% of what most people use laptops for..... this sucker will suffice.

    Want it faster, add a SSD like i did... under 20 second cold starts....
