There is already a better such Toshiba laptop available in the UK since August! It is the Satellite X200-20S, actually featuring the NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT card and otherwise indistinguishable from the two described in the article (see the TOSHIBA UK website). By the way, checking the US websites of laptop manufacturers is only a rough guide (albeit a useful one) of what is likely to be released in the UK and not an accurate one, as both Toshiba and HP Marketing have pointed out to me.

By the way, congratulations for an excellent.all-round e-publication!
