HP DV6-1006TX with i7-2630QM & Radeon 6770 @ MYR2599 for the win.
Irresistible price and specs. I just bought one 2 days ago.
P/S It comes with Beats Audio. Sounds better than normal notebook. Certainly sounds better than my Sager 8170.
And personally i felt it has better keyboard than my Sager 8170. The keyboard of my Sager 8170 looks like a cheapo plasticky china-made KB.
P/S Add MYR99 for 3 years warranty.
P/S If you have MYR3K of budget, spend few hundreds on SSD and you're good to go.
The 5.4K HDD in HP DV6-1006TX runs like "4200 rpm HDD". I formatted the HDD and fresh install the plain clean Win7 SP1, it still runs slower than normal 5.4k rpm HDD (and I don't know why). It is kinda jerky.
P/S The other downside could be the Radeon GPU.
The driver is not as solid as nVidia's. It still has flickering issue.
And I personally find the switchable of ATI is not as "smart" as nVidia's Optimus.
But with that price, you have got nothing to complain (unless you can get a non-crippled GT555 at MYR2599).
So the KB build on NP8170 is not good? Irresistible price and specs. I just bought one 2 days ago.

The HP Pavilion DV6-6001TX price is tempting, but I prefer the chiclet keyboard on Sager
