    The only problem with this notebook might be the price. Newegg has been moving it up and down (everywhere from $1199 to $1499). There was a time, when you could get the A1 for cheaper. The current price ($1349) seems to be about average.

    I'm no financial analyst, but I think the X2 will stay at $1350 or not go higher than $1400 until December 25, in order to stay competitive with the A1's $100 MIR.

    Well, except for Crysis. You'll be stuck at medium-high or high with no AA. But apart from that everything will run great.
