    I just wanted to thank you for those who game me advice to choose 16F2 with 570M. I have been very satisfied with it since it exceeds what I need it for. As some of you said, BF3 runs great with Ultra setting either custom or preset with 700~720 core overclock. It runs very smooth and beautiful. It is not bad for $700 purchase! Thanks guys!!

    I got it from PROVANTAGE. However, just to be clear, this is a pure MSI whitebook. So it won't have CPU, RAM, and HD. It comes with a heat sink for CPU, HD bracket, and driver CD. I had a CPU, RAM, and HD. So it made sense to just get a barebone instead of buying a complete system from Gentec or eXoticPc. If you still want one, they are selling it for $682 plus shipping. Just type in 16F2 on their search column. It will show up along with 580M model which is 019 with about $220 more.

    No. I am not sure if any MSI whitebook comes without GPU. Those reseller, PROVANTAGE, COMPSOURCE, and etc, sells a retail package. So there won't be any reconfiguration by them. If you want to upgrade with 680M or 7970M right away, it is better to just get one with it. Of course, that would be a lot more than $680 if that even becomes available.
    Sometime next year, I believe Intel is coming out with new generation CPUs. So, to me, it made sense to get the 6~8 months old system so that I can replace it after one year. Chasing newest thing in PCs seems almost impossible to me though. That is why I usually buy 6 months old system to pay much less.
