15 inches and a 9700 @ 5.6 pounds, very nice

They've got a buyer here if they will sell it here in the states.

Why not sell it here?

I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks (I am from New Zealand), and it's performing really well. The model is B3012AP (1.7GHz CPU, R9700 64, 60G)

I've heard overclocking is a no no for Notebooks... but I tried it anyway. Improved the video performance to 3192 with settings of 459-263, and chickened out after that. I've set it back to defaults for now, but would like to hear of any experiences people have had with general laptop overclocking, because I've never really done it before.

Also, the 3dmark03 benchmark thing didn't perform the audio tests... is that normal?

Anyone know of an importer who might carry this model?
