    After using it a bit more, I like it more. However there are a few things that annoy me right now.

    1) Backlite KB not always on during boot
    2) Palm rest is hot where the HD is located
    3) Fan is always on, but the TV is on too - so I don't hear it

    I have reported the issue to dell about the backlight as i think it was an oversight in the bios.
    No heat where hddis for me (SSD for the win)
    my fan turns off from time to time but it does seem to spin more times then not
    also funny thing is i got a better score on the 7 experience index for ram are you using 1x4gb & 1x2gb? or 2x2GB? or 2x4GB?

    Wow, odd :(

    2x 2GB

    Not bad, depending on how you type. Sometimes though I feel my fingers go in too deep for the keys to be pressed though (like < 1% of the time).
