    The Ati M5800 has been added as an option. When will they update the pre-configured models to include this option? Customization increases the price drastically, and the pre-configured models would be a more practical choice.

    I'm leaning towards a pre-configured 8540w at the moment simply because apparently you can get a free docking station with it.

    I didn't see the ATI option come up when I went to configure the 8540W...where did you see this pop up?

    I finally got 8440w with $1479 shipped. The laptop is working fine and needs some driver installation from hp cd (I am using win 7 ultimate)
    I am figuring out how to enable biometric device without installing hp application since driver seems to be installed properly.
    When I enable it with hp application, it is more complicate because when I log in windows displays three login accounts. (It was only one account, which myself before setting biometric login)

    thank you guys for the discussion

    Awesome! Canada still seem to have no stock available... the company I'm buying it from is telling me early April :(

    Any early comments? Maybe a mini review? :D

    Going to order (if it works since I'm in Norway, but I'm hopeful since they do international shipping).
