    well if there's someone working there today... why not? you might need some kind of proof it's actually intended for you though.

    You could just give them a cal and see what they say. I have ordered Mini parts (real not BMW) and they use UPS. These deliver on Saturday so you might be lucky with your new baby?

    run to the box then have someone take your shoes off while you are unpackaging the m15x. in this type of situation you deserve that treatment :)

    Cause I'm so lazy to post all the pics here, follow the link :)

    http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg142/Martas9999/?albumview=link&special_track=nav_album_album

    Mind that I am not a photographer, and I made them fast while unboxing :)

    So far what I think of the system:

    Packaging:

    the system was put into 2 boxes. Everything was really nice, except for the cap, manual, AC adapter and mouse pad, which were all messed up in the box. But everything else very nice.

    Build quality:

    I'd say above average. Feels quite sturdy, a little keyboard flex in the arrow key area (about which I don't care), no scrathes on the system, no gap over the ethernet port.

    Screen:

    I got the lower resolution one and it is sooo much better than my previous one. I love it, very nice.

    Bios:

    installed the 32 one, will try games later. Also, my system came with SP1

    Touch controls:

    touch pad sucks, but sticker helps a lot. Volume controls are bad too, but I think I'll get used to it.


    Power:

    haven't tried anything yet, had to instal all the programs and other tuff, but it feels blazing fast.


    So here ya go, my 2 cents.

    I know I've seen lots of other pictures of m15x from lots of angles but everytime I look at it, it looks better than before :D

    Can't wait for mine!
