    so i have recieved my m15x today, and i would like to say that this one came perfect. no problems at all, everything works fine. there are no spaces or cracks around the body, no imperfections. screen is STIFF i guess they are building these better now, also the paint job on this computer is great. the only thing that i find weird is the volume because it doesnt work as good, pretend thats not even there, i set my touch pad with touch zones for the volume since its easy/faster. the dvd drive most of the time ejects a little then i would have to push it for it to come out, it rarely pops out all the way by it self. the speakers arent bad, i say they are good enough. overall this is the fastest/ best built computer i have had. it runs games like it was nothing, for those still waiting or thinking about getting one you wont be dissapointed dont listen to all the negative stuff going on these forums because this computer is great.

    This has to be the most uplifting post I've read in the last week. Mine hit Phase 8 at the end of the work day today, so I expect it to ship tomorrow (6-days from ordering. And I ordered on a Saturday! :D).

    I honestly can't wait for it to get here...I'm totally ecstatic and hearing now that yours is good makes me happy and fuzzy inside. :)

    would you say that in spite of the multiple comments posted here about the negative build quality of this laptop, that I would be floored byt eh build quality of this thing as I am coming from a Dell d505/Gateway c-140x with the build quality of an anemic dyslexic autistic teen suffering form bulimia?
