    Me and you have almost identical configurations except that you have a 7300 while I went with the x1400. Plus I just ordered mine so it'll be a wait

    What was your previous computer/notebook?
    Did you reformat yet?
    What type of boot times are you getting?
    Are you experiencing any graininess issues with your XGA Trulife?
    Does the Media Direct work well?
    How much battery life are you experiencing?

    Anything you don't like about it?

    Yea, I know most of these questions have been answered before, but I would like to know your responses to hold me over til I get mine. :)

    My previous notebook was an hp pavilion, centrino 1.5 ghz, shared gma 64 mb, 256 ram 40 gb hd.
    - no, im not thinking about doing that right now until i get the cd driver kit i ordered form dell
    - out of the box boot time is approx 50 seconds from power on to welcome screen, after removal of most if not all bloatware i get about 35 - 39 seconds
    - screen is stunning, very vibant colors, no graininess wat so ever.
    - media direct is working flawlessly, i can access ANY media file on my hd
    -havent tried stayin on battery till its drained but im xpecting 4- hours with all on low and nvidia powermizer on and wifi only.
    - so far nothing, im loving it

    well worth the wait
