    I think they'll refresh the entire design (via Studio 1755) before they upgrade the GPU. The T9550 is a drop-in replacement, but a new graphics card requires a new motherboard. The 1555 is already on its way, though, so a 1755 might not be far behind...

    I am waiting for the T9800 to be really cheap after the i7 Cores take over. That will pop right into my 1737.

    Overall I am happy with my T9400 2.53Ghz 6MB cache Core 2 Duo Its a desktop replacement so battery life is no big deal.

    I must have gotten lucky because I can't even comes close to a configuration like mine for the same price.
