    Im torn between the Dv6 with the SB or the A660 with SB. One of the deciding factors is the touch pad. Are simple tasks like dragging and dropping even possible with the Dv6 touch pad?

    The Sandy Bridge is already available on the a660 and some a665s. But now i have another problem. Lenovo refreshed their y560, removing the corny Halloween theme in exchange for a brushed metal finish, and its less then $1,000

    Doubt the touchpad will be changed on the new SB models but it took a month for the touchpad to wear down and be usable but yeah it's okay after a while, I just use a mouse for convenience.

    HP DV series has probably the most unusable touchpad (it also kinda has a small area)... And i think they still are selling it in that BLING BLING case....... :mad:
