    In reference to the P6x0Sx/P6x1Sx, wanted to know what you guys though of both? I've been trying to Google them but I see conflicting images, and would rather have a hands on experience with it. Want to know how they feel and what looks better in your opinion and anything else that sets them apart.

    Brushed or Sanded?

    Thank you in advance.

    It's a very difficult question to answer unless you have seen and touched both. I am a little biased because we have the sandblasted version, but in my personal opinion I do prefer the look and feel of the sandblast finish over the brushed finish.

    I don't know if notebookcheck will review a P650 version, but if they do their photos could be compared directly to the current XMG P505/P651.

    You wont get much feedback from hands on experience yet anyway. These wont start shipping until Nov 7th at the earlier from Sager.

    I've been shopping around, and it seems to me that which finish will be available to you depends heavily on which market you're in. I've only seen the sanded finish offered in European stores, and here in the US we're limited to the brushed finish.

    I've always preferred a brushed finish on my devices but it really is personal preference. Either feels good.
