    Should I worry about getting a laptop NOW as opposed to when DX10 cards come out?

    I'm currently eyeing the Sager 5760...but my only concern is, I'm trying to buy a laptop that will last as long as possible because of the fact that laptops aren't easily upgraded, and I'm a little worried about not having DX10 support. When is DX10 coming out, and would I be justified in getting a laptop this summer without DX10?

    Vista isn't due for another year, so unless you can wait a year, buy a laptop now. And DX10 isn't going to make that great a difference unless you want a machine that can play DX10 compatible games (which will probably be released much later than a year) in DX10 mode.

    I would wait for Merom or Turion X2 if I were you... Merom has DX10 support with an update...
