    Does anyone have this notebook? If so was it an LG screen. If it was a samsung screen, was it bright and usable. After my issues with Lenovo I am not dealing with them. HP is number 1 atm, and this notebook looks very nice. It has every feature I would want in a notebook, and its price is pretty good for what hardware you get. What do you guys think?

    Did you look at the 8510p? Same machine, just has a gaming card rather than a (price inflating) workstation card.

    the 570 FX card is an 8600GT with a slightly different bios. Hardware wise they are exactly the same and will give the same performance. Also the HD 2600 Pro is a very sub standard card. ATI drop the ball. The X1650 there previous card can preform better than the new 2600 series. All I need to do is use a modified INF which will allow me to use a regular Nvidia drivers. I am mainly concerned that HP is using Samsung screens which are not as good as LG's WSXGA+ screens.

    The HD 2600 isn't actually that bad.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=150512&page=3

    Scroll down to where the benchmarks start; pages 3 and 4 are mostly full of data and interpretation/speculation. I understand it's no Quadro 570m/8600m GT GDDR3, however we haven't seen the GDDR3 HD 2600 yet, so...who knows :O

    What machine do you have it in? Ever done any benchmarks or found out if your card is GDDR3 or DDR2? We're dying for more information in that thread I linked !
