so, does it means that they are selling old model or?

QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Aug 26 2010, 02:13 PM) After upgrading my GPU, the next thing I wanted to upgrade was the cpu to a 940xm. But then I was adviced to wait till the new M17 comes out and get that instead of investing more and more on my M15x.... My 820QM will have to suffice for now....no problems so far...
is there new M17 coming out soon? when?

m15x and m17x are desktop-like lappie in which you cant expect long battery life for such monster spec machine.
I am using XPS currently and it is the same that my battery life for my XPS M1550 just last 1 hours++ nia
