DV9317CL. Has anyone seen this one in action? Owners?

I saw this one at Sam's Club today down here in Puerto Rico.

It's priced at $929 wich is not bad considering how we get ass-raped down here with laptop prices. This of course doesn't include the 5% sales tax...Again.. total rape....


Anyways here it is,

Has anyone here had any experience with this notebook? I haven't been able to find any credible reviews on it. I'm interested in a system to replace my desktop. I won't be playing any 3d games on it(maybe some NES/SNES emus) on it, but I do want a solid, fast system. Of course a big screen/full keyboard combination is needed.

Any feedback will be appriciated.

 

It's a dv9000z series notebook, a slight step up from my dv9008nr. They're great notebooks for the money. You'll probably want to upgrade to 2GB RAM at some point but that's easy (I recommend 1GB Crucial DDR2-667 SODIMMs).

 

Thx man. Anyone else?
