    If you're in Germany you're in luck... take your pick: http://geizhals.at/a367157.html

    Everyone else is twiddling their thumbs.

    Post here if you see the P310 on sale elsewhere (USA/Canada would be nice!). And no, notebook.de doesn't count (150EUR shipping, ouch, plus German keyboard, double ouch!)

    It probably will considering it's on the LG Canada site.

    However the specs listed there aren't nearly as good as the German model. P8400 and 9300M vs T9500 and 9600M GT.

    Wel, I tried to purchase it in Cyberport, but no signal of shipping outside Europe, and in notebook.de the shipping outside Europe is 290€, which I find far too much.
    Any other shop that ships outside Europe?

    I can´t see a disadvantage of the external box, especially with the thermal budget in the base unit of the laptop!

    One disadvantage is the apparent need to run the external box to an external monitor. I've heard talk of a driver fix to allow the box to run back to the notebook's monitor...but if that isn't available, then mobile gaming is not in the picture.

    The Fujitsu is based on AMD Turion. I don't think that this is worth thinking about.

    AND the powerful ATI GPU (called a graphic booster by Fujitsu) does only work on a second external monitor. Gaming on the road is a no-no.
