    Sorry, but NoClue4uHere beat you to it :) I just realized how silly saying MS-171772 would be... MS-One Hundred Seventy One Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Two. My friend said it should be renamed MS-1337 (only gamers would understand that one).

    I'm a lil disappointed with their 14" refresh, going down from the nvidia 6200 to the integrated xpress 200m (even Nvidia and ATI has newer integrated solutions).. however I like the new 15.4" turion x2 model. thanks for the update!

    MS-1715422. Lookin' good. Wonder if I should get teh barebone now, and wait for Core 2 Duo to be released. Or would that be kind of stupid? Is it worth waiting? I always wanted a laptop with 17" and bluetooth and 7600/x1600. Any idea where the heat vent is? I really hope it's not on the right side. That'd be one of them dealbreakers. And I have yet to see a barebone with Biometric Fingerprint scanner.

    Makes my little MS-1029 feel a little insecure.

    MS-16332 has a fingerprint reader w/o a TPM module? Why? Without the TPM module, there's no hardware disk encryption :p

    im hoping this greatly reduces the price of a msi 1039. I mean nevermind a 1029. You may have noticed Im thinking about getting one soon.

    A msi 1039 came to market costing 200 more than a s96j. I mean that killed it, lower tech for more? Not a huge winner idea there. And reaching the market later too if I recall.... If I can find one for 550-600 Ill buy one in one week.

    I dont think things move that fast but thats something I have to think about.

    Anyone have a line on the cheapest 1039?
