    Initially it was GS but then they updated the information and now it's all GTs. Great move by them.

    it was changed to GT when they got more information. Remember, they didn't know what graphics card would be inside.

    I think Donald from Powernotebooks.com confirmed that the Compal IFL90 would have the 8600gt 3 weeks ago.

    I/FL90 was always GT, as far as I recall. There was some concern at first but that was cleared up quickly as the VBI FL's started appearing on the market weeks ago with the GT card.

    And yeah, the WXGA+ is a great deal. I've seen the FT00 with WXGA+ somewhere, but that has GS :/ still better/comparable to my 7600 now anyway and it seems the 7600 is just about what I need :)

    cheers.
