    Everything was as ordered, but the battery was D.O.A. It took quite a while, some of it my fault, for the replacement to come in.

    Got it last nite, created restore discs and wiped the factory drive (after some playing).

    Windows Aero flaked out on me until one of the Win 7 Updates fixed it. Before/After? I finished installing SP1 this morning. Now it's working exactly as I would expect.

    Everything perfect, but I don't like the position of the touch-pad, when typing my palm always hits the top left corner making the mouse jump all over the freaking place ... Logitech G900 = Problem Solved.

    I just received my M18x and unboxed it. There is a large defect/scratch on the rubber top/back of the screen. :(
