    DV7?

    I'm no longer interested in 17" lol, seriously they are hell heavy to carry around. 16" is fine but I would prefer 15.x or 13 in but those aren't power house laptop :(

    Same here, I am over 17". If I ever go back that power route, I'll be building a desktop, far cheaper, nearly the same portability :D

    Have you seen the Alienware M17x? Just had a refresh as well, should be getting i7 processor options now. Powerful machine, well built with decent cooling. Not cheap, but the warranty is pretty good.

    Asus do some as well, along with the recently announced crazy one built in metal and featuring 2 frigging touchpads lol.

    Also thought HP were going to release a 17" Envy, but that didn't appear to happen, unless I missed something?
