Thank you to all that replied to my thread, however, I have even move questions than answers. If the SandyBridge i7-2630QM is better, but not available, do you think the systems with that CPU will be available in the next two weeks? And, for all that offered google as a research point, I have googled and googled, and I have found that SandyBridge is supposed to be available in the first week of March (now), however, I continue to read conflicting information about the real availability or in many cases, no information at all.
