    Hey guys,

    I am wondering what I should do, is it better to pre order today on the last available day and take advantage of their free upgrade offer or wait until it is officially released so I can customize my order myself. I have a 2500 dollar budget that I can go over, Ill just have to pay out of pocket haha and that must include the 3 year parts and labor warraanty. I also need it by mid august so if preordering is the only way to gurantee that then so be it.

    Is it better to wait and get things like the 9800 card, but I guess no one knows whther it will be released right away with the rest of the system. I was just gonna go with the 2.5 ghz processor, unless there is some new one that is a cheap upgrade and will give me better batterey life.

    pre-order now from xotic or powernotebooks. if you don't want what you see after the launch just cancel it. But if you pre-order atleast you know what you could get.

    You also establish your place in line, and get an earlier crack at getting the system in your hands.

    I'd suggest ordering now, then if you want to change any details after you have placed the order (or preorder) just call them up and they'll be happy to oblige...

    Should probably preoder now since the preoder will most likely be cheaper than the actual thing tmrw even if its by $50. then you can change something tmrw if you dont like it.

    yea actually didn't end up pre-ordering, price actually comes out cheaper anyway since I can't afford to wait for the 9800 gtx.
