Saw one instore today - real surprise - A$2669, great screen size, full 1080, innovative vid/sound control, good graphics chip but Core 2 Duo processor only a T8500 - would prefer the T9500 like the Asus 15" which also features Vista Ultimate but suppose considering the Bluray burner it's good value. Note that the straight 8920 has Vista Ultimate and 2 x 320GB HDDs but is A$800 more. Yep, give this one a tick but like to see the techie reviews. Very tempted as against Dell, HP and Toshiba - this one has stolen a march.
