    Seems like a nice deal for someone who is going to get an SSD right away like a Crucial C300, the 5400rpm 640gb should be fine choice for storage.

    Be careful where you order it from though, I bought one online and didn't stop to look at the specs because I had been researching the XR1 for a while and the one I bought has the Radeon HD6250 in it instead of the NVIDIA GTX460M...Massive downgrade in GPU. I feel like an idiot for not checking the specs before I bought it but then again since every thing I read on it says it has a GTX460M why would i think anything different would be in it.
