    ^^Did you already receive your 7k500?
    If not, I am wondering if you could still cancel & order this one? : ) Just a thought.

    I think my HDD just died, would rather the 500GB Hybrid SSD Drive, but for the price you cant really argue with the value of this deal.

    well i think the xt goes for 100$ now

    It boots faster seems to cache the directory system faster too

    It actually is slightly faster anyway.

    I think this is a better deal though.
