Will we see a 17.3'' analogue of the Optimus III?

[Dizmo]

I'm thinking of buying a new laptop for entertainment/work some time in the next 3 months, and the Optimus III with its 650M seems to be just at the right price/performance range for my needs. However, screen space is very important to me, so I was wondering, will there be a 17.3'' version of it any time soon? I know there's the 17.3'' Optimus II but this only has the 555M which seems considerably weaker judging from http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html.

If there aren't any plans as of yet, please consider it!

The 17.3" version will be released when the current Optimus II chassis have been sold out, there's thread somewhere that has a timescale on this from PCS, I'll try and find it.

I was wondering this too, any idea how much the increased screen size will affect the price?

For the Optimus II, they were roughly the same (maybe £30 difference or so).

Here's the post http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forum...-17-3-quot-Optimus-II-vs-17-3-quot-Vortex-III. A few posts down, says it should be around in 2-3 weeks from now if my maths is right...

Thanks! That's great to hear. I'll be ordering one then, then.
