    Thanks inap! I was thinking of getting this but the front end is raised up. I wonder if the U3 will do the same.

    actually i have a u3 too, the bottom edge of it is much lower so the bottom of the laptop almost touches the desk making typing really nice. hope that help

    the cf storm really is massive, i would recommend it if your are using it as a desktop replacement. as you can see it set way back on my desk because i have an external keyboard and mouse connected.

    i'll bring the u3 to work with me tomorrow and take some pics of it for ya.

    i just wanna say that now that m18x is almost available, as soon as i get dimetions im going to get a sketch going but no garuntees that it will be made for sure, that all depends on what the price of it is, it the machine is more then 3.3k with minor upgrades im sticking with the 17 but we will see i guess
