    Hi all I'm about to pull the trigger on a Clevo W24AEU and just figure I would ask how this setup sounds, My primary uses will be heavy web surfing, torrenting, and vmware.

    The specs are:
    Intel I7 3630QM Processor
    16gb of DDR3 1600Mhz Kingston HyperX
    I have a 1TB drive I will add
    I will also add a 128gb Msata SSD "if its compatible"
    Intel advanced-N 6235 wireless card

    total cost will be $840 USD plus shipping

    No need to get the hyper-X ram really.

    The NP4650 can be had pretty cheaply, gets you an nvidia GPU and a 4th gen I7 and 1080p IPS panel though is a little larger at 15.6".

    I have a 15.6" thinkpad now, I was really looking for something small, my goal was a 12.5" but with a budget of 850 max I couldn't find anything that was a real power horse in my price point.
