    There is a slight replacement called the M865TU (so I guess the NP8665?) but all specs are the same so maybe a slightly different look.

    dont bother, another M86xTU is just for color.

    didnt I lecture enough about this subject in another thread.... dont make me smack you upside the head.

    no replacement, only another option of color.
    - just like the M570TU (orange trim) and M571TU (silver trim)

    1) you want to know if the m860tu will become cheaper?

    OR

    2) you want to have the latest and the greatest to gloat? :)

    Yep, don't mess with Clevo Guru :p Good for me its just a color difference. I don't want to feel any buyers remorse for just getting my 8660.

    I'm waiting another 6 months or so to get an 8660. Of course, I'm a student strapped for cash, and hoping to get a deal on the NP8660's once they become "outdated".

    The deal ain't bad now: $300 price drop. Was $1800, now $1400. And you save another $100 with a 3yr warranty.
