    Will there ever be a sequel... preferably w/ a c2d and an 8600m GT 256 or 512mb?

    there is no 14.1" 5lb 8600m GT laptop to be found anywhere w/ current technology or enough guts to play crysis reasonably... and more importantly starcraft 2!

    and before anyone says it... 8400m's and 8600m GS's are NOT true gaming grade GPUs.


    yes, i have a beefy desktop.. but i do travel frequently for business and man ... do those hotels get boring at night.

    thinkpads come close.. 14" non widescreen 570m.. but only with 128mb
    g1 way too heavy to lug around
    dell... don't make me laugh

    The W3 was end of line, it stopped production about a year ago.

    The upcoming F8sv is rumoured to have a 8600GT, the Zepto 6624w has a 8600GT.

    I do work out. doesn't change the fact that 6.5 lbs for a 15 incher still cuts into your shoulders more and reduces carrying volume more than a 14" 5 pounder. plus the 15incher that i useright now doesn't open too well in an airplane seat

    W3J set the precedent.. we want a successor!
