    If you can provide us with links to each model we may be able to give you a reason behind the price difference. It doesn't look like there is enough to go off based on what you posted.

    No good, the GPU isn't listed. Although if they are fairly similar to the American models, then the first with the T7300 has a single 8700M GT and the second with the T7500 has dual 8600M GT's (Each American version has a different model of the T7XXX series processor, so I cross-referenced them.).

    well...that's my conclusion too...if the second one indeed is the american SLI3, why is it cheaper?
    what does SLI NB8P-GS(512MB) mean? i hoped it was some kind of GPU specs...

    My first thought on the price difference was that the second one might be the lower resolution screen (even though they both state WSXGA and that is why it is cheaper), but given the GS designation is suggestive that it may be equipped with GS instead of GT 8600 cards (but that doesn't seem like a logical thing for Toshiba to do considering the US versions get the GT cards, and the two GS cards might not come close to the performance of a single 8700).

    hmm....i guess i just have to wait and see.....when i call the webshop (any .no webshop for that matter) they claim that only the CPU is the difference between these models...when i ask about why the prize difference then....they get all quiet and goes like: well...oh....eh, yeah, there might be some other minor difference like GPU and so on...?!?! they don't know what they're own shop are selling...stupid u ask me.
    anyway; the 21C model(with bigger CPU and apparently no GPU) has an ETA in most shops 10/10 so maybe by then they will know more....
    Also: people in norway with the 20T model( 2,0 GHz and 8700gt) are reporting not only HD DVD reader, but also HD DVD burner :)

    The Australia version of X200-J022 comes with T7700 and HD-DVD Burner months ago already... although the screen resolution is only 1440x900.
