    Just bought the new Sandy Bridge DV4 on the 12th and it shipped last night. I needed a new laptop after mine started overheating (Asus U81a), Total came out to $503.49 including taxes and free shipping with a $50 coupon from techbargains. It's $600 at BB and $575 at Newegg.

    DV4 Specs:
    14.0" LED display
    Pentium B940 dual core (low-end sandy bridge)
    Intel HD 3000 Graphics
    4gb Ram (1x4gb)
    500GB 5400rpm HDD
    Backlit Keyboard
    Win 7
    Espresso Black

    I know it's somewhat underpowered compared to the i3/i5/i7s hopefully it runs cooler and better than the T6500 C2D I have in the asus, but I have a custom-built desktop for that either way. I just needed this for school/mobility/ entertainment use (music/movies/documents/netflix)

    Anybody else have thoughts on, or bought the new sandy bridge dv4?
