I think it's a matter of personal choice I still would choose XGA/WXGA over SXGA/WSXGA

So this makes Acer one of the first with Sonoma and one of the first with Turion. Their designers and manufacturers must be working a lot of overtime!

Nothing special... the no WSXGA+ really brings it down.

One more question...are you sure?? Cuz I don't know if I can wait any longer!
My Daddy's credit card is lookin me straight in the eye! LOL (It says order the Acer TM 8100 now!) But I'd rather have the new Ferrari cuz the AMD64 is more upgradable in the future...

Looking at the design I have a feeling that the 5600 is actualy going to undercut the 8100 series in price by a few hundred dollars, notice the non curved keyboard? That is usualy a dead give away that your looking at in this case a mid range laptop Im beting $1400~$1650 for the price, I think I might just wait a bit, though the 8103 looks mighty tempting at the moment, the big thing is going to be the HD/DVD burner that they stuff into the 5600 cause I like the idea of a cheaper laptop lots, and I like the idea of 64 bit a lot as well.
