    Any word on the rumored X77? I read a couple articles about it, seems super promising yet I see talk of it nowhere in here. I thought it was supposed to come out sometime in the middle of this month?

    I am seriously interested in this if it going to be a reality shortly!

    Ive seen it for pre-order in some stores in Europe (komplett etc). Some of them have the delivery estimate as overdue (8th Jan), others are saying stuff like 5th Feb.

    Im sure we'll see them pretty soon. Price looks decent.

    Would you think it would be a better buy than the N71JQ? Just wondering! I would love to hear what everyone else thinks.

    X77 is now in stock @ komplett (Scandinavia + selected other EU countries). Since the new Acer models seems to be a month away I jumped and ordered the Asus X77JA (core i5-430, 500Gb HDD, ATI HD5730) even though it's more expensive than similar spec Acer machines.

    Price: NOK 7755,- (1377 USD)
    Price Acer with about same specs (HD5650, Core i5-430, 640Gb HDD): NOK 6416,- (1134 USD)
