    I've been thinking for a while now about buying an 8662, but after looking at the line up for the future, I think I want to wait. I want a 15" notebook sometime before or around Christmas primarily for gaming/school. Is it worth it to wait for a better one or should I just go ahead and buy the 8662? Price range is about 2200

    theres always going to be something better around the corner. (if not better, the same at a lower price maybe)
    the rule is, buy when you need to buy.

    The 8662 is the best 15 out right now. The build quality and user satisfaction is the best I have seen recently. Mine is great, especially if you get one with an SSD, very quick and responsive for games, etc.

    I will definitely get an SSD. Would it be worth the extra money for turbo memory though? I noticed in your sig that you have 4GB of it.

    I definitely see the difference when I setup programs to use the turbo memory. With the now lower prices for the SSDs and putting that with turbo it makes things open almost instantly!
