I must admit the zoostorm looks very nice for the price. My wife plays WOW on her 17in HP DV9000 with T5500 cpu and geforce 7600 graphics + 2 gig of ram and it looks superb on her 17in display. The 8600 should push it along nicely and the quicker cpus might help a bit as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, but the zoostorm looks great value.

yeah the zoostorms are wicked value tbh. Zepto gfx has the 512 gt tho which sounds nice, also the 7200 rpm. Vostro has the hdd but 256 gt but doubt see a diff at the resolutions available.

Anyone seen the xps m1530? seems about *** same price as these ones, no idea how good it is though.
 
Anyone else got any opinions? Cheque in the bank now so i am ready to order...guess i could wait until new year for sales but doubt prices of laptops will come down by a whole lot and you can always be putting things off until next hardware comes out etc.

On that note i intend to order this today :)
