    Congrats man, looks like a great system. No worries about the battery, you can get them plenty cheap aftermarket.

    Welcome to the club! It's a great machine - though my keyboard seems to have more flex than normal. It runs quiet and so far hasn't gotten too warm for me while playing games. Got the new Booq Boa XL to match!
