    z71v - 128mb 6600go
    z70va - not out yet, but will have a 128mb x700.
    z70v - 64 mb x600

    i'm thinking the z71v is ur best bet as it will probably fit ur budget the best.

    What country denomination is "C$"?

    If you're talking Canadian dollars, the Z70V shouldn't be that much higher than the Z71V, and still below the $2000 CAD mark... that is, if you're talking Canadian Dollars.

    Oh, ok. Well if it is, then a simple vendor like CanadaSys has pretty good pricing on the Z series and others. You can check them out here: http://www.canadasys.com/laptopasus.htm

    Edit: They'll try to beat competitors pricing too. :rolleyes:

    That's without tax, of course. And yes, it's Canadian dollars, but as you can see, the Z70V starts off at 1503. I dont know if that's the best price in Canada, but it was just an sample website.
