    Its not available from amazon.com but available from a third party retailer over amazon website.

    Very suspicious item. Looking the specs this Envy does not include Sandy Bridge processor and still comes with ATI 5850. While HP stated in its press release that the new Sandy Bridge Envy will future switchable graphics/discrete GPU with ATI 6850.

    First letl me say wow!!! an i7-920XM? That CPU alone goes for over $1000 wow wow.... HP itself maxes their CPU at the i7-840qm which is what I got. This sounds nice....

    Also, its not Sandy Bridge. But still nice. I just don't get who that kind of power is in there.....it sure is one of a kind if its real. I'd worry about the heat though since its not a Sandy Bridge with the coolsense, and the original Envy 17 was notorious for its heating...so beware.

    KJ :cool:
