    After reading lots of things about it i decided to give it a go. bought an R2

    Core i5 520UM, 4Gb. changed the standard HDD with an SSD right away (M25x 160G Intel)

    I am impressed, the machine feels nice to the touch. i like the overall feel better then comparable systems i have played with.

    When i have more to tell you folks i'll post it here...

    I've heard that some SSD series of Intel have a serious problem with the firmware, you should double check that.
