    So i went outside to take a walk, there's 2 models of w7sg which i see, it's either black or white, 160gb hdd vs a 250gb hdd, the last difference is a t5550 vs t8300, i'm quite sure the 9300g in this baby will suit me well for WoW, but the heat is still a killer (at least better than my w3a which can literally burn)

    the price difference is roughly 200 US(i'm in asia now), i've trying to check for reviews and benchmark for the 9300g and also the performance gain from t5550 vs t8300

    it'll be nice if you guys can give me some advise

    Lucky you......... I've been waiting for ages for it to show up in the Netherlands and there's no sign. Can you get me one please? :D

    Yes, definitely T8300. Also the better-CPU is in the black version, so go for black.

    edit: I hope the 8300 is in the black otherwise the choice is a difficult one...

    Another vote for the W7Sg Black, the T8300 should help with the better power and heat management and plus it's black!

    That's stupid indeed. Makes me wonder whether I should wait for this computer. Need to recheck the specs in France...

    Checked and in France, (& rest of EU) the black has the T9300, which is the high-end version of T8300. Are you sure the one with the low-end CPU and the 160GB HDD is isn't actually a W7S (not SG)? At least the HDD looks standard for that model.

    quite sure because both of them have the geforce 9300 so it's pretty sure it's not the the S version.

    I'll check out another place this saturday/sunday and see if they have the T9300 model out there, but are there any benchmarks where i can actually compare the 2 cpus?
