    I understand that when it first came out, the m15x's quality was not the best, and lots had issues and flaws.

    How is it now? If I order one now, is it likely that I get a one with flaws in it?

    How fast does it ship? I live in Canada, and need a laptop before June 15th. Could I get it by then if I order soon?

    Also, for the screen, just how reflective is the glossy screen? Would it experience horrible glare (very annoying when gaming)?

    i dont think you would get it by june 15th if you order it soon. as some people get problems and it gets held back like 2 months.

    I'm in the UK... it took 8 days for my laptop to be shipped. No idea about the quality as I haven't received it yet.

    Yeah, I see lots of people getting quick orders now. I guess it depends on what's in stock. Should I call them and see?

    that will be the best way to find out.
    there have been a lot of happy customers receiving perfect working m15x but then there are quite a lot like me who have had problems.
    like dirty harry quoted,do you feel lucky.

    i think i might have to take a roadtrip (ok,4 miles) and come and check out yours when you receive it milcs.
