    Okay, so how pissed off am I? I waited a respectable period and bought the 6200 (and love it). I knew that a newer/better/cheaper/faster model would _eventually_ come out, but one month after the release of the original 6200???

    The new 6210 ia coming out - same as mine but with a dual DVD burner! And for the same price. Okay, so I don't _need_ a DVD burner on my laptop, but it's the priciple of the thing. And coming to Sam's (for a probably cheaper price) is an 80GB version with dual DVD burner!

    Grrrrrrr!!! They could have at least waited 6 months. I'd return the 6200 but there's probably some crap-ass restocking fee or something.

    Dang it!

    Traci, you know the consumer electronics market is a like a big 'ol treadmill that if you want to stay at the front of the belt you'll be forced to keep buying every month when the next latest and greatest thing comes out [ :D]

    c'est la vie, based on the review you wrote I think you're happy with the 6200 so just ignore this 6210 and, as they say, ignorance will bring you bliss.

    Where did you see 6210? I am in market for 6200 series. All I see is 6200H at BestBuy. In fact the rebate is also gone, so the price has actually increased.

    I found it at Averatec.com

    I haven't found it online yet besides their website. Since the model with the 80GB HD and dual DVD is listed for sale at Sam's, it's only a matter of time before they carry it.
