    yup, those are the only two that was provided by other users I believe.

    There was also this one: Linky

    but..that picture looks..white, rather than silver for some reason

    Thanks for the pics moo, the silver is actually ALOT better looking then I thought it would be. BIGX, I know one of the first things you thought when you saw those was how it would look with that deep red chassis instead like I did...lord im drooling right now. I can only wait another month for it then my patience will be shot.

    I dunno I just think the silver looks a bit strange, like something on the back lid doesn't belong there.

    I was going to go silver/black too...but its just the way they did it. If it sat right in front of me, It'll look like a black laptop in a silver casing...and I'd just want to..pull it out xD

    also kinda reminds me of cop colors.

    Ewwww... super gloss screen. Matte > Glossy any day. I dont like being confined to inside on my laptop and even inside some buildings lighting is just not ideal for High Gloss.

    Well, they're almost equal outdoors(different problems)

    The matte screens are hard to read outside, especially in the sunlight.
    Glossy screens have the highest contrast, vibrant colors, and highest brightness because they have a smooth, high-gloss surface. Outdoor visibility is somewhat better.

    To each their own. I just prefer the matte. I've had nothing but issues with the high gloss trying to read the screens when the lighting isnt just perfect and you can see more of what's behind you than actually on the screen. :p

    Though I will grant you that the Silver is very nice looking. I still am very happy that I got the awesome black choice! Might also have something to do with my silver m15x, lol.

    Cheers for the pic's.

    I had black by default in my config and then went silver by the time I had changed my mind I wondered if i was too late. At that stage I wasn't too fussed as they both look good. : )

    I just wanted a few high quality ones, in different lighting. Like ambient lighting in indoors, in sun lighting outside/back yard or something, to get a true idea of how it reacts in high light and lower light conditions.
