X800/6800 Fujitsu laptop in the US?

A few months ago, I fell in love with the Fujitsu N6010 when I saw it at Fry's. The display was incredible and the build quality looked really good (except for the keyboard, which was kinda flimsy - but I could live with it). I decided to wait for the next generation with the newer GPU's. I was horribly disappointed when the Fujitsu N6210 was released with an X600 GPU and only 128MB of dedicated RAM. I was hoping for a 6800 Ultra or X800 xt, but would have gladly settled for a 6800 or X800.

Has anyone heard when/if Fujitsu is coming out with a laptop with an X800 or 6800 GPU? I'm willing to be patient up to a point - my current laptop is a PIII 850 and is breaking down. I may end up buying a dell

FYI - I'm specifically looking for a 17 inch gaming laptop.

Thanks.

Martin

dude get 9300, it's the best money could buy! I bought 2 of them and yeah, the screen was kinda sucky compare to my Fujitsu, but the build quality is great

Klas,

I am considering the XPS Gen2. I saw the Gen2 in person and I was surprised at how nice it was. The Gen2's screen is vastly improved over the Gen1 (although clearly not in the same league as Sony and Fujitsu) and the build quality looked pretty good. To be honest, I was pleasantly suprised by the Gen2. (however, I am still leary of some of the quality control issues Dell seems to have with their displays)

That said, I still prefer a Fujitsu as they are, in my opinion, the best quality laptops in their price range. What I am trying to determine, if possible, is how long I would have to wait for Fujitsu (or maybe Sony) to come out with an X800/6800 laptop. If I'm looking at a 4-6 month wait, I may get the XPS Gen2 - it's just not my first choice.

There is that 17" Fujitsu that has the Go6800. I'm honestly not sure when it'll show up in North America though. Here's a spec sheet on it.
