    Just ordered my M570u.

    Specs:
    M570u, 256MB Nvidia 7900 GTX, WSXGA+, Intel T2300 1.66Ghz 2MB, 2 gig DDR2 667, 80GB 7200 rpm, Lightscribe Dual Layer DVD+|-R/W, No Operating System, Wifi 802.11g, 2 Yr Metabox Warranty, Digital HD TV Tuner.

    It was supposed to be delivered in the next day or so.

    The sales guy just informed me that some of the parts are not in stock (TV and Lightscribe) since the next revision of the M570u will be arriving in the first week of July. It will have 512MB Geforce 7900GTX, as opposed to the present 256MB. They offered to upgrade my present 735 order to the newer revision with 512MB Geforce 7900GTX. All other specs identical, including TV and Lightscribe - with an arrival date of the first week in July.

    Sounds like a good dea, l Ithink I'll go for it.

    Hmmmm, interesting. Will Sager resellers start taking pre-orders for machines with the 512MB 7900 GTX? My spidey sense is tingling. :D

    Congrats on your purchase!

    I was also told the TV tuners are backordered, but ISTNC is going to send mine individually when it arrives so I can install it.

    That was my other option. It was a close call as I have been waiting about two months now. Figure it is worth at least a hundred. Also any other sale discounts will apply. Here in Aus its end of finacial year, so lots of sales.
