    Yeah, that's a business decision that i would go for, if I hadn't already bought this T9800 from zfactor.

    Actually, PCMW or Eurocom might have trade-in deals.

    I just ordered one a little over a week ago (in Australia, so could be a while before the GTX 260M is available) and haven't received it yet. It had an option to upgrade to a QX9300, so would I be correct in assuming it would have the revised motherboard design?

    best place to ask is who you ordered it from!

    No, for everyone please read. I asked Eurocom about their QX9300 on the M860TU, they actually do support it, however you won't get the revised motherboard unless you order the laptop with a quad-core. Now if you order an M860ETU, then you'll get quad-core support out of the box.

    Hey, since the quads are 45W, won't they eat up battery life like crazy and leave the M860ETU with maybe 1h30 battery life?

    Hey Johknsss,

    I actually no longer have that SSD anymore, I now have an OCZ Apex 120GB, with the proper partition alignment and SSD optimizations, it works like a charm and is super fast!

    something like that....but if you run that chip in it's lowest power set, it shouldn't be that much of a difference. maybe 10 minutes or so.

    edit:
    charm as in like 160 to 200 Mb average read times??

    Hey,

    I was more getting around 160Mb/s average read, but that's since my OS is running on it as well, I'm sure that if it was a secondary drive, the read would be more at 200Mb/s. There is also no stuttering at all.

    I actually bought myself a OCZ Vertex 250GB, I'm therefore going to sell my 3 weeks old Apex. PM me if you're interested!
