    Well, I finally decided between going for the PowerPro or the Sager, I think I made the right choice...

    PowerPro J 10:15 SUPRA
    15.4" WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050) LCD w/PCI-e nVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT w/512MB (Shipping !?!?!?)
    Intel� Core�2 Duo T7300 2.0GHz Processor w/4MB L2 On-die cache - 800MHz FSB
    Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
    2,048MB (2 SODIMMS) DDR2/667 Dual Channel Memory
    120GB SATA 3Gb/s Seagate Momentus 7200.2 Hard Drive at 7,200 RPM
    Combo Dual Layer SuperMulti DVDRW/CDRW Drive w/Softwares
    4-in-1 Memory Card Reader (MS/MSPRO/SD/MMC)
    Built-in Intel� PRO/Wireless 4965 802.11a/g/n
    Smart Li-ion Battery (9-Cell) - (WSXGA+ Screen Only)
    Windows Vista Premium - 32-Bit

    I'm still not sure if I'm glad I went with the WSXGA+ screen, I was planning on the WXGA+ but I really prefer matte over glossy, especially if it is going to be portable. The 9 cell battery was also pulling for me to go WSXGA+, but I do slightly regret that I'll have to run games at higher resolution if I want them to be native, but I'd imagine scaling down wouldn't be that big of a deal on such a powerful screen anyhow.

    Now its time for the waiting game...and for someone to buy my HP dv2000 on ebay ;)

    BTW, the guys at PowerNotebooks.com are really awesome, thanks so much for the help ya'll!

    Yeah, I'm not expecting Mid-July. I was told they expect to get the preorders all filled by the end of the month, and I'm plenty good with that. It kinda blows because my desktop just crapped out on the 4th of July, and I'm trying to sell my laptop on eBay, so I won't really have a computer for a while, but its summer, so who cares!
