Hii have been waking to order for ib to come out and I thought I had decided on a vortex 3 but now this new skyfire is out and I have come up with this spec!? By the looks of things the only difference between the 2 laptops is vortex has lights on keypad and FireWire (what ever that is lol) plus a few more USB ports but apart from that I don't see why I would gain in paying the extra for the vortex? Any help is appreciated I am mainly using this for gaming ( total war series and star craft kinda games) and work emails web surfing.
