    Wow, I never saw this coming. First HP with their new elegant designs, and now Acer. I can't help but wonder; did these companies steal the designers from Sony or what? Oh how the table have turned. :D

    Pricing may not be announced by Acer US, but Acer Canada's got 8935G configurations in prices from $1,399 Canadian to a whopping $2,099 for the two-500GB-hard-drive, Core 2 Quad configuration.

    Wow, the 3935 looks really good. I love how the Timeline series looks, but I need more CPU power.

    This could be the replacement to my M1330 when it becomes available in Canada....

    Does anyone know what GPU it has?

    >edit< never mind...found out it is an Intel 4500MHD, so that rules out this laptop
