Are you buying from amazon? I believe they're the only one with a 6-cell instead of a 9-cell battery...

Mine is currently at Xotic having the processor swapped out and it should be sent to me as soon as they finish the upgrade. I'll post a short review once it gets delivered.

Nope. I'm going to buy it at NCIX, and ask them to pricematch PC Canada ($1139) when it comes in stock at PC Canada (tomorrow, April 7)

I'm most interested in the temperatures, build quality, and battery life... can't wait to hear.

Oh alright. Might wanna see if you can get a 9-cell (if you care about battery life). Do you know of any good resellers in Canada that let you upgrade from the stock unit?

None that I know of.

I DESPISE everyone in this thread, honestly I'm green with envy (and not the nice HP variety either) and still can't find any details on an UK release that will no doubt be priced a lot bloody higher! >_<

[min2209]

Yeah... earlier I was moaning about how the Canadian Envy 15 (FIRST GENERATION) costs $2200 CAD when clearly, CAD > USD (as of April 06, 2010). I guess we don't have it as bad as you guys do in Europe.. hehe

This.


Hope its as good as it seems. Really thinking about canceling my 1558 Dell for this unit.
