    That's a little pricey, especially since they charge tax. At least they actually have it in stock. I got an email this morning saying that my order of the laptop from Amazon has ben delayed indefinitely. :(

    LOL, it comes with Home Premium, but below it gives the benefits of the notebook having Professional. 500GB HDD is nice.

    Anybody smart wouldn't buy that because you can get the Asus G51vx-x3a with much better resolution for the same price, only benefit of the 7908 is the battery life.

    The FX has better cooling and the GTX 260m wont be downclocked like the Asus is.

    as much as i wanna upgrade my laptop, i just don't see any point buying that. only differences are it has better graphic card and 500gb but benchmark difference with gtx 260m and 9800m gts is like 300 which is like what? 2-3 fps difference at max? and 500hdd is only 5400rpm. that's actually a downgrade for me since i still have 100gb free space on my hdd.
    and mine got 1920x1200 resolution screen so 1440x900 errr.. a downgrade again. i think i will stick with mine till gtx 300 series equipped laptop comes out.
