    I REALLY need to buy a laptop within the next week or two. So far the 8130 looks the best, kind of, but with the 560M out just around the corner, I can't justify the regular one with 460M.

    Is there ANY news? What about news of a new keyboard for the 17" series? That's the one I really want to get, but the fact that they use the same keyboard as the 15" really puts me off them.

    Thanks!!!

    The 560m is not out yet and the 460m may be in limited stock until it is. It probably won't be available in the time frame you want though. It's not a big difference in performance though, you'll see at best a 10% increase over the 460m.

    The 560m will definitely not be available in the next couple of weeks. I also doubt you'll see new keyboards on any Sager's until Q4 or maybe next year.

    That seem to be an inordinate extra expense for the performance. Those 6970 cards are going for $500+ on their own plus ~$100 for the power brick. Why not just buy the 8150 up front if you want the 6970? If it's because of the screen, that upgrade is significantly cheaper to do on your own.
