    Just how thick is the P56 going to be if it has an optical drive on top of being cheap?

    To me the P56 looks like just a version of the P55 with better graphics, so see our review of that notebook. That said, I can't be sure; from my searching, I haven't located a product page for the P56 on Gigabyte's website yet.

    It's definitively gonna be on the thick end then. Hopefully the temps are good.

    I hoping for a optical drive, decent speakers not dolby ones, and hot swappable optical drive
