Title: My new laptop coming in a week or so...
Liam Squires-Hand 4 Jun 2012
Optimus Series: 15.6" Glossy Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Intel® Core™i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-2450M (2.50GHz) 3MB
8GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M - 1.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
500GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® N130 802.11N (150Mbps) + BLUETOOTH

Compared with my current unit it's quite a step up in performance :), should see me through i reckon 3-4 years worth of use i don't see any linux game slowing that down soon :)

Has optimus but The Bumblebee Project sorts that right out (it actually works really well).

Ooh, that's a nice machine alright. Just needs a little bit of SSD-lovin'!

The nvidia chip in it is so new there aren't Linux drivers for it yet :/
