    I thought it would be fun and interesting to compare performance between the two - especially as the F sports the Quad chips vs the Z's duos and the super fly SSD in the Z.

    Firstly - my F1290X
    Processor - i7 840QM
    Ram - 8gb
    HDD - Seagate Momentus XT 500gb - crystal mark doesnt really show up the ssd element.

    LOL, I have a F12Z (i7 740QM and 8GB) with an Intel Postville 80GB SSD (replaced the 500gb 7200rpm drive) and a Z12Z (i7 620M and 8GB with quad SSD, 4x64GB). Both with the FullHD screen and nVidia GT330 1GB.

    From day to day use the Z is much much faster because of its insane SSD-raid-array. Even compared to the intel SSD. But when editing raw images with camera-raw the F shows its quadcore power and pulls ahead in performance.

    But because the Z is not much slower then the F for those tasks but faster in every other way i'm going to sell the F :p
