    Not yet. I've heard June...they are probably waiting for the announcement of the vouchers for a free upgrades to Windows 7 with the purchase of a new PC loaded with Vista (which is expected in Mid June).

    It should apply to any computer as long as it is a computer that has Vista on it. But you will get the same type of Windows 7 as you bought with Windows Vista. For exmaple, if you have Vista Home Premium, then you will get Windows 7 Home Premium only.

    The downsides that I have heard is that you will only get an upgrade disk and not the full W7 disk and it will install ontop of Vista. So if you have any problems with Vista, they will carry over into W7. So if you want to fix any problems by doing a clean install, you will need to do a clean install of Vista first and then run the upgrade ontop of the clean Vista. It'll be a hassle, but it's the price you pay for getting your computer now while still getting W7 for free later.

    It should at least come with a 260 M.
    For the premium price you pay for this laptop the 130 M is extremely underwhelming, but i have to admit it is one of the best looking laptops I have ever seen, sort of like my old girlfriend, beautiful on the outside but ugly and empty on the inside:cry:

    Lol, haha what a low blow

    anyways, this notebook to me is just a padded version of the G51....if you look at both they look EXACTLY the same with the VX5 having more luxurious padding.

    Good point, you just made me realize: the Republic of Gamers crest is the same exact shape as the Lamborghini logo. Coincidence? I think not :)

    I think their all the same design. I'd love to compare and review underneath the panel of them.
