    Hey, well I got mine yesterday after a long period of waitig...it was delivered to my cousin on the 22nd August, and I now got it. But the wait was definitely worth it!

    I know that there are a lot of other reviews, but I decided that I'll do one since it has travelled a long distance, from New York to Barbados in the Caribbean. Alot of people have had several complaints but so far I have none, well except maybe one, when I was using Internet Explorer last night it was sticking slightly. But I downloaded Firefox shortly after that so I don't know if it is still happening. I'll check later.

    But when it was sticking while I was using IE 1.68GB of RAM was in use and only Windows Live Messenger, Norton & IE were open...right now Pro Evo Soccer 2008 & Beijing 2008 are installing, Norton is open and obviously Firefox, but only 1.47GB of RAM is in use...I don't know if IE was the cause last night then...hmm. Further debugging will be done.

    All in all so far it isn't bad at all. By the way I am only leaving the factory installation for now to see how well the system works, after that I'll be removing Norton and all of the other useless clutter (not much to be honest) and installing Kaspersky.

    I'll be back with a more detailed mini review later.
