    I am going to wait until the g51 is shipped with Windows 7. Yeah I could get it now, but then I got to go thru the trouble requesting a disk, plus if the hard drive craters I have to install the original os, then upgrade, I did the same thing with my hp when they offered a free vista upgrade. I ofcourse figured out a way to install the upgrade instead of the prior os, but I really dont want to go thru the trouble. So, what do you guys think? The Laptops will be out around november? Heck the G60 might be out by then or if I even wait until Dec something better might be out.

    I'm running Windows 7 now. I'll do a fresh install when the update discs ship.

    If you use your notebook for barbecue purpose only, your best choice is the G51... Its cheaper and do the job very well... Oh, and Windows7 increase its performance by increasing the heat... =)
