    Got mine today. Have been installing software and updates pretty much all day. So far the impressions are good. mines pretty solid and seems to be running great. do love the 1920 x 1200 res screen. Only issue so far is that there are some minor flaws in the clear coat. hardly noticeable from any distance other than sticking your nose to the plastic. Surprised to see that it didn't come with the x32 bios. so i flashed that first. screen does seem to be pretty solid not too much wobble but i do notice it does make a little noise when opening and closing. so far no other defects. Ill keep an eye on things and see what happens. so far I'm really happy and cant wait to get some gaming in.

    Congratulations, thanks for posting your impressions.

    The WUXGA screen is indeed great, there is so much screen real estate. After getting a WUXGA desktop monitor for myself, I don't want to go to anything lower. :)
