    unfortunately there seems to be no information or reviews on this particular model (as its a custom order) and I thought maybe people here could possibly give me some opinions about this deal. to me the specs on this machine seem to be generous considering the price.

    I've never heard about the X-5 before, and I don't recognize the photo either. Sorry, not much help :(

    That notebook looks like the X55SV which isn't available in North America. It seems like a cross between the M51 series and the F8 series notebook. Unfortunately, due to it being unavailable here in the states/Canada (and in Europe, i think), there isn't much information about it.

    looks to me like a lacklustre version of the M50. Perhaps it runs the same board, just different case and minus some features?
