    Just got mine. Ordered on 9 april.
    It feels light and feels like it will break easy.
    I'm more use to heavy aluminum body.

    Congrats. What are your immediate plans for the beast? Which is to say, what games do you play?

    Depends on your gaming tastes, I'd think. I was playing Portal 2, and seriously loving it, when I made the decision to get a decent laptop so I've put it aside until my m17x gets here. It's like a first person shooter, only with science. It's a blast.

    I second this, the game is brilliant. The humor in it is really good.

    First thing I did was play black ops when I got my M17x r3, And FFXIV (Because the graphics in this game are pretty amazing, even though most people have issues with the game itself) just to see how well it'd run full settings. I recommend getting Battlefield 2: Bad Company which i've recently bought off steam because of the EA Sale week, was worth the 7$ I paid for it, and runs amazing on my r3.
