    Thanks. They don't have this model on Newegg but the other models seem to have pretty positive reviews. Was hoping there may be some owners here. :)

    Main thing other than overall quality, does this model have the ability to have two drives installed?

    I don't think this supports a second hard drive. I'm pretty sure it's the same chassis as all of the other 17" GX and GT models.. I could be wrong.

    The MXM III is good, so you can upgrade to a better gfx card later..

    Where are you looking to purchase this? Link?

    I'm guessing this is coming in around $1k?

    Several places have them available for about $1200, probably not such a good deal now that I found out about Gateway. Also I have been reading the threads here about the new MSI's coming with ATI 4850's, those look pretty good and pricing seems reasonable.

    Just when I think I know what I want something else comes along.

    Actually no, the slow boat from Japan to the USA through China with a stop at the north pole. That's about what you could do in the time I've been looking for a notebook. I'm very patient :)
