    Anyone has an L521X with 512GB SSD? What is the brand of it? Samsung 830 series?

    i was thinking the same thing. I ordered the one that comes with the SSD so I will find out soon.


    Dell uses Samsung SSDs on their ultrabooks, so hopefully they use the 830.

    Makes the price even more worth it. Adding a Samsung 830 at 512GB to the 1599 model brings it to about 2300 after taxes and you are still left with upgrading teh 16gb of ram yourself.
