    Can't seem to find one - others have mentioned it.

    Any specs?

    Meh - never mind - search bar is my friend...

    Anyone got any insider info on it? Like what gfx will be available?

    I hope something better than HD3450/HD3470 as the high-end option.

    I love reading topics where the solution is also provided by the person in need.

    Most likely it will ship with the HD3200. The AMD models never get good GPU options. The dv7z & dv5z share the HD3450, the dv4t has the Geforce 9200M, so the dv4z is probably going to just ship with the HD3200 which frankly offers similar performance compared to the 9200M.

    One more thing to remember that the dv4z might not make it as a CTO model considering the current AMD based dv2700z are only sold in retail stores.

    That wasn't a solution, that was a question/statement, as it seems every manufacturer I see, is having a love affair with the 3450. Sony, Toshiba, HP...

    I love reading responses that contribute absolutely nothing to a thread.


    EDIT: Miner, thanks for that. The retail machines aren't really up my alley, as they are NEVER configure like I want them, and I'm sure I stand alone.

    See any chance of a better-than-34xx gpu being offered?

    Well gee you said "never mind search bar is my friend."

    How would you interpret that?

    (sigh)

    Ok - lemme write it in crayon for you....

    I figured, since I can't DELETE the thread, or RENAME the title, that would be a way to let people know that I found an answer, and they really didn't NEED to reply, although a discussion wouldn't be discouraged.

    I suppose some people just can't help themselves, and must make a comment, even though it does not contribute a single thing to the subject of the thread.

    Just a little common sense goes a loooooong way.
