    They are dead on....I picked this baby up last night for $1250 and am totally in luv with it. I'm not a hardcore PC gamer either but for $1250 for a 17" laptop, I was what the hell ...I chose this over the Toshiba X205, Dell Vostro, HP 9700T.

    I'm satisfied with the 'upgraded' 1.866 CPU as well so I dont see myself doing any upgrade for the time-being.

    You paid 1250 only or 1250+tax?

    Also, someone else mentioned on another thread that he's working for BB and the upgraded 6860 will have a bigger HDD and 4GB RAM too. Are those there in your system as well, or only the upgraded proc?

    That is a great review, drop in a T9300 and those scores would be much closer to the top runners.
