the 5k80(5400rpm 80gig HD) seems to have made an appearance as well... all around it looks like the T40 might just get a bit of competition.

sheyot, now if only if Apple could only play all PC games... 9600 > 5600/5650

The $1999 model looks nice, but throw in the extended warranty and the price goes up to $2348. I don't know what shipping and tax cost, but $2348 is too much $, even if it does boast the fastest mobile GPU money can buy.

I'm debating getting a 17". The way I'm figuring it, it's basically $267 for the 17" screen over the price of the 15" model. Wish it had 128MB video RAM, and of course a G5, but it's still a nice upgrade. Very tempting. Oh, and the 17" model is only .7 inches deeper than the 15" one.
