    What is the chance HP decides to launch USA on 10/22 with rest of world instead of waiting an additional month?

    I'm disappointed by the lack of a dedicated GPU option but I shouldn't be gaming anyhow. I'm tempted by the 6545b if only to get the high res anti-glare screen.

    I would love a chance to see these hands on.. Hopefully they launch here in Japan next week. There is a lot of HP out here, but I have yet to see any of the probooks here. Then again, I haven't really seen the probooks anywhere in the states either. I have however seen Asus' U series in the states. Why is that relevant? The Asus and the HP probooks share some features that interest me.

    What hi-res screen? These screens are only 1366x768. It's like the whole world has gone blind or something, and laptop makers are only catering to the 80dpi crowd.

    It's incredibly aggravating that there aren't any decent high res screens on any of the new AMD offerings.

    I guess 1600x900 is better at least. It's still worse than the 1680x1050 on the previous generation. Still, they offered Elitebook 8530's (Intel only) with 1920x1200 15.4" screens. They should offer an AMD machine with that high resolution as well.

    Hmm. I wonder if that means they'll be putting Turion II's in the probook 4515 as well..
