    I just got mine in yesterday.

    The battery is fine if you keep it locked. It weighs about 6lbs, so it's not grotesquely heavy. But it isn't extraordinarily light either. I'd recommend the "semi-clean install" when you get it, as it's loaded with tons of bloatware.

    That said, I'm very happy with my purchase. I updated the X3100 drivers and everything is running fine. And not a trace of bloatware.

    You can find BETA drivers at Intel's website.

    The setup wouldn't work on my computer. If the same is true for you, simply follow the directions in the " Read Me" file.

    :) No problem.

    Jukeboxmusicman, I live in Oklahoma (Sony is apparently located in Texas) and they shipped all my stuff out to California to be sorted.
