    I also ordered mine on the 4th with an estimated build date of the 18th.

    Here's what I got:
    -XP Home (why bother paying for Pro when it's basically the same thing)
    -Turion 64 ML-30 (1.6GHZ, 1MB L2 Cache) I upgraded from the ML-28 for the L2 cache, I didn't get the 1.8GHZ one because the speed difference would be negligible for me, and it would suck up more batery power and produce more heat
    -BrightView
    -1GB DDR RAM (512x2) I can't risk loosing my warrenty, if the past tells of the future, I'll need it
    -80GB HDD
    -DVD+R DL Burner w/ Lightscribe (for $25, why not)
    -(2) 12 cell Lithium Ion batteries - I need the most battery life I can get

    They're running faster than advertised and even giving faster shipping for free. Mine came 2-day about a week early.

    Great review. I first saw this computer this weekend, and was very tempted to order, but I'm trying to hold out until the MT's are available.

    Now that you've had more time with it, did you get a chance to undervolt the processor? I'm interested in knowing the voltages, improvements in battery time, how cool it runs, and fan activity. Anyone done this modification yet?
