    I really love being able to wake from sleep just by opening the lid, instead of having to press the power button. Does anyone know how I can enable this?

    Thanks!!

    I've noticed that most of my keyboard buttons are pretty nice, although the spacebar is a little "loose" feeling on the right side. Do any of you have this same problem? It's not so loose that it wiggles or looks like it's going to come off, but it just makes it noticeably louder. I've thought about popping it off to see if there's something I can do about it, maybe putting a small piece of masking tape on a part, but I don't want to potentially break my brand new laptop by prying off a key.

    If any of you have removed a key on the X360, please let me know too, so that I can know it's okay to do!

    I would be interested in the opening the lid to awake from sleep as well...

    I am also interested in if/what types of ssd's would work in replacing the hdd for those that bought the 34g model..

    Great PC btw!

    SSDs are just like HDs in terms of physical size. Just need to know whether it is 2.5" or 1.8". See SSD thread in hardware for a ton of info on SSDs.

    I have just bought an X360 for my wife, the one with the 128 SSD in it. She likes the chicklet style keyboard but does not like mac OSX (neither do I). I hope it will be a good bet as I have never seen the computer in real life ... into the deep end here. Am going from older Toshiba Portege R205 to this Samsung X360... has anyone tested the speakers? Are they Ok for Skype conversations ?

    They're probably fine for talking, but for music, they're not so great cause they're probably what you would call "tinny".

    they're was used three times in that sentence.
