    why are there ZERO threads about the G550?

    maybe b/c it is a consumer unit dads buy for their daughters and they have better things to do than waste time in forums, like you and I

    lol (but I really wouldn't call it a girl's computer) :D

    It's not a bad computer, it's just that most people who buy one buy it for its practicality and value.

    Well we just got our G550 in for the review queue, so you should know more details soon. It looks like the primary difference is just going from 16:10 to 16:9 on the screen. Hoping the body stays just as nice as the previous model.
