    I've been using a model of the BX for two years here now on a daily basis. First one was a BX565B good machine, but it problems with heat (it got hot) and the battery life sucked.

    Then it was a BX660 - Much much better battery life. They also fixed up the thermal issues.

    My current work notebook is a BX760PS3 and It's been wonderful. Tough notebook, a few little tweaks to the design and it's golden.

    If you do purchase a BX700 series, make sure to get one that is configured with 1x1Gb or 2x1GB in it's RAM (no 2x512MB). For some reason they placed the second RAM slot underneath the keyboard on the BX700 series (it wasn't like this on the BX500/600). That way if you choose to upgrade your RAM later you'll have a much easier time.
