Hello,
I just ordered a new EON 17 SLX this morning. The specs are pasted below.
One of my biggest concerns is about the new chips + video cards coming out this quarter.
I feel like I wasted almost 2.7k on a laptop that will not be cutting edge in a few months.
Please please let me know what you guys think. Do I wait for a couple more months or is this purchase good enough to last me a long time.

Single Nvidia 680m vs Dual 7970m

Does anybody know what performance difference would be?
Once again, single Nvidia 680m vs Crossfire AMD 7970M.
This purely in terms of gaming. Both MMO's and FPS.
Thanks.
