    If asus can make a 15" With 9800M GS Why cant HP but it in their 16/18 Inch Laptops?

    Do you think they will update to something faster (Preferablly with 256 bit bus) Before christmas?
    At least a 9700GTS Please HP...


    (Otherwise the HDX 16 is good)

    cos it's positioned as a multimedia laptop, not a gaming laptop.
    gamers should really look at desktops.

    Have you noticed the thickness of the Pavilion series? The motherboards will burn if they go for a 256 bit card.
