Succumbed to temptation before the I could wait for the Santa Rosa laptops..
Config:
Since it came with a limited 300$ off and then considering the fact that the 8600GT is not performing that great in the desktop side, i expect its performance to be lower the 7950GTX for the mobile version..
Its a close call whether to go ahead with the Dell XPS 1710 but then a similarly configured one from Dell goes over 3000$..
Hopefully would get my hands on this one next week! :hap2:
