    I am thinking about selling my gt680 and get gt780 coz I can't stand for this small 15.6 inch screen anymore. will gt780 have better keyboard too or is only difference backlighting? I was looking at one in xoticpc.com and it says shipping in june which is this month..

    Pretty sure it starts shipping next week, and it has a steelseries keyboard, which is apparently a great keyboard.

    yes.. time to put my gt680 on ebay and get gt780. I hope it works out better than gt680. I noticed something starnge though.. It says gt780 is 7.7lbs which seem to be awfully light for 17.3 inch laptop coz my previous 17.3 inch all weighed 9 to 10 lbs and even gt680 which is only 15.6 inch weigh 7.7 lbs. I am not complaining coz being lighter is actually better for me but how is this possible? o_O

    The correct weight and dimensions are:
    16.85 x 11.34 x 2.17 in (W x D x H)
    8.6lbs, (with 9 cell battery)
