New Core i7-720QM

I'm looking to get a new laptop here within the next month or so. I know at the end of this month the new core i7 mobile processors will be released. I'm curious as to what everyone here thinks about the price, or if they've heard anything.

I do alot of motion graphics work in After Effects and Cinema 4d, so i really like the extra cores, and especially the hyper threading, over the existing models. I want to spend about $1200. In your humble opinions, if i were to customize a Vaio or Dell concentrating on the low end 720QM with other less important features lacking, do you think a laptop can be bought for around this price??
