    i was going to buy either the hdx16 or alieware m15x and when i saw the hdx on sale 2 days ago i ordered it. I got a 2.2 core duo, 4 gigs ram, nvidia 9600m gt, vista 64 bit, and all the extras. will this be able to play call of duty 4 on max settings?how is build quality? and it says build by june 17th. does it take that long or do you usually get it before then?

    could go either way on the build date, more likely later than earlier though. i don't play call of duty 4, and as far as build quality, just inspect thoroughly when it arrives, and ask whatever question you may have in the hdx16 lounge - plenty of helpful folks in there.
