    Hey,
    I was planning on buying the NP8150 with an Intel 510 120gig, but the reviews on NewEgg haven't been too great, and it seems like a lot of other drives outperform it based off this chart:

    Unfortunately XoticPC only offers the Intel510, but I could just get buy the drive aftermarket.

    I am now considering the C400 (Has it been officially released yet? Can't find it on NewEgg) and the C300?

    Any ideas on what I should go for?

    I do pretty much everything from heavy gaming, to photo editing, to school work. A lot of multitasking. I plan on just keeping main apps and OS on the SDD, everything else on the HDD secondary though.

    EDIT: Probably won't get the computer until mid May. Worth getting rid of the SDD in the config (currently the 510) and just buy it aftermarket once the m4 and all that releases?

    Prolly will have a better grip on the available ssd's by may. They're all new and things such as reliability are unknown. It seems there are a few reviews like the one you referenced that seem to skew the results of the 510. Head over to the SSD section to find more info :)
