    Hi guys,

    I recently ordered an X200 through my connections with somebody who works at Lenovo (via CPP). Combined with the March sale, I think I got a pretty good deal :D


    I just have a few questions:
    (1) Says it will ship by 4/1/09 -- seriously? Will it take that long? :(
    (2) Can the x4500 encode x.264 1080p videos well? How about blu-ray (should I decide to buy an external)? How well would it encode 1080p on a true 1080p monitor?
    I read that the HD version of the integrated graphics chipset does this out-of-the-box, but what about the x200's?
    (3) Has anybody had experience with the 6-cell battery? I know on paper it should last around 6.2 hrs -- is this more or less accurate? Just curious, is all -- if it can squeeze +5 hours I am very happy!

    Thanks in advanced for anybody who can come up with an answer to my questions!
