    Same thing I got, but mine is the FW139 (retail model). Same exact specs.

    It will also be my very first laptop :)

    I hate waiting for it to arrive though :(

    If money's an issue, have you thought of trying Open Office?

    Could someone who has the FW139 please confirm if it can take dual voltage 110v-240v? I've been looking at the specs online but it doesnt say anything other than 110 which is disappointing as it looks like it has everything else I'm after.
