    Does anyone have any experience with this laptop? Looking to buy one of these.

    Has there been any problems with it in the first 12 months of usage?

    And does the SZ691N/X support 7200rpm hard drives or SSD?

    Great machine. They've ironed out most of the bugs by this 6th iteration, and certianly by the SZ791N/X they already have now.

    As for supporting 7200 or SSD's, sure! Knock yourself out.

    Do you think its worth getting the SZ791N/X over the SZ691N/X?

    What are the main differences about the two?

    The only really bad thing i have heard about it is the 200gb 4200rpm hard drive would die after a while but thats not real an issue for me.
