Wow, am I seeing this right? Six USB 3.0 ports? That's a great improvement over the GT70, nay, almost all laptops. Lightning seems very cool and the disign is overall better than the old one. I wonder why they keep using those surface materials that are so prone to fingerprints smudges.

Nice, going with a larger touchpad and 2 separate buttons. Does it now have two 12V coolings fans or two 5V cooling fans? I appreciate the single powerful 12V fan that the GT60/GT70 has and I think the GT60/GT70 looks a bit better with the buttons above the keyboard but I appreciate this new chassis. Awaiting details!
It better be fully and easily upgradeable like the GT60/GT70!

Able to take an AC adapter larger than 180W????????? That's been a huge problem for the GT60/GT70 with top specs and extreme CPUs. Should be able to accept 240W.

I think I've read somewhere that this one includes a 220W PSU.

OMG it's for sale in europe for 2000€... talk about expensive. Alienware 17 has actually become a budget notebook compared to this. The pricing is terribly stupid. 1500-1600€ at the most. For 2000€ I'll rather go for the premium Alien (no point in saying it's overpriced now). Really dissapioting.
