    Hi all!!!

    I'm still looking for any complaints and/or concerns about the Qosmio X505-Q890. About the only thing I've been able to find so far is that they can run a little warm. But isn't that to be expected consideribng what's under the hood of this thing?

    Also, would I be better to get a model w/out a SSD, but can add one later (and bigger than what comes installed) when the prices of SSDs come down? And how difficult would it be to install a SSD down the road and transfer the OS to the new drive?

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I have the qosmio x305q11 and droped a 160 gig intel g2 ssd drive in it.
    All I did was make a image copy of windows then put it on the ssd drive. I have not had any problems and lap-top is alot more responsive now. :)
