Is there something like the mx 900 that comes without the hub? Seems like paying for an internal bluetooth and a hub is redundant.

Why would it be worth waiting to get pci-express? What would this enable people to do with a laptop?

I only want to use the batteries while I am in class taking notes, thats why I wanted the dual set up and maybe a third so I don't have to worry about it dying if I leave it on.

Thanks, I was about to buy the second primary.

By what you have said, I have to get the dual battery set up to swap the second battery out while having one permanently placed inside. If I purchase another "Primary ...battery" from PCTorque, the one on their option page,...

Well on PCTorque, there wasn't an option for the soundcard, while on the 8790 there was. Thanks for the info.

Does the 5690 come with a soundcard, or is that a separate purchase? If so, what external sound card would you recommend? Thanks.

I was planning on purchasing a 5690 with the dual battery set up, and a third battery to swap with the first. Would it be better to get a second hard drive or optical drive and just get another battery to exchange with the other two...

Does anyone know if the 5690 or future variant will contain the 256mb GPU that the 8790 has?

Is it safe to turn a notebook off more than 20 times per week? What does this kind of action do to the life of a notebook?
