    Why is it that when a computer company has a winner, they seem to dump it as fast as they can? I can't get an answer from Lenovo as to why they've dropped their Trinity line (Z585). I'm hoping they didn't find a flaw in the build since I recommended it to my sister and a friend of mine and both bought it. They got the Best Buy version that had 8 gig RAM. I should've gotten one then too, I guess, it runs icy cool, next to no fan noise whatsoever, and plays anything they've thrown at them.

    Does anyone know if they're coming out with a replacement line with trinity APUs? Their customer support is rather clueless about it, even the sales dept.

    outlet.lenovo.com check there for units left... Otherwise pure benchmarks wise, i5/i7 kills the amd lineup. Eg. Tomshardware.com benchmarks. And, nothing on the planet comes close to intel quicksync encoding videos.
