    Hey o all,

    I can't find a tl-60 17" laptop anywhere in UK/US and the chips were released a month ago!

    Does anyone know why this is and where I might be able to get one soon?

    thanks.

    Just aren't any chasis for one yet. All I have available so far is a 12in model because that's all I can get ahold of.

    Very fast CPU I can't wait for a 17in model to arrive and someone to order one :)

    who8mahrice, thanks for the link but those arent 17" laptops.

    otaku, thanks for the light! I Guess i'l just have to wait, seems stupid to me that amd would release a chip and then cause such a lag before laptops came out - they're losing many customers every day.... and even more as intel get closer to their next release...

    No worries, thanks for trying!

    If anyone does find a 17" tl-60 laptop please post here - I'm sure there are plenty of others waiting for one too...

    HP is about to release DV9000 but it's not out yet. AMD, as usual, experiences problems in meeting the demand for its newest products. Early Turions had this problem but it's understandable as AMD has only a tiny fraction of the production capabilities Intel has.

    ...and i've seen a review for an asus 17" tl-60 laptop, which is out soon - but the review wasn't very good.... i guess i should wait for the rock one...

    anyone come across any others?
