    Ok, I just got it so I'm still forming my opinions. After using it for an hour here are my first impressions:

    1. Outside - very sleek and sexy.
    2. Screen - absolutely gorgeous.
    3. Keyboard - terrible.
    4. Touchpad - works just fine.
    5. Heat issue - right side palm rest gets warm but not hot (so far).

    More to come as I get time.

    So glad you're going to post a review on this notebook - I think I'm putting an order in this week! What's so bad about the keyboard? Flex, clunky keys..?? What's the noise level like? Last question for now - are you going to throw any games at it???

    peace

    The keys need to be hit really hard to register sometimes. If I type while not looking at the screen I find that when I check my work some characters are missing because I didn't smack the keys hard enough.

    Noise level isn't bad. THe fan has been on constantly but doesn't really bother me. Some people might not like the fan being on all the time.

    I'm not planning on putting any games on it but I have no doubt it can handle it. If I'm asked to review the laptop for NR then I'd do tests with games.
