    "Most ask" what? What do most people ask? ;)

    ABS is the same parent company as NewEgg, so I would be willing to order from them. Looks like it would be a decent computer, but I'm suspicious of the use of a GMA motherboard and a discrete card.

    The ABS Mayhem G4 (non-revolution) also has a Go6600, except it is a rebranded Asus Z71V.

    There are two Mayhem G4s...the plain old Mayhem G4 is the Asus Z71V and the Mayhem G4 Revolution is the Uniwill 259EN3.

    Actually, they hybrid GPU solution (as Uniwill calls it) is quite useful as it allows you to boot up using Intel's GMA 900 when you won't be doing anything graphically intensive in order to save battery. When you plan to do some gaming, flip the switch before you power up and you'll have he 6600 Go on tap.

    That's actually pretty slick. Not sure I'd pay the price-premium for it, but I wouldn't turn the notebook away.
