    I almost bought a BX before the SZ series came out. There are very nice looking, but MAN, DOES IT RUN HOT!!! It' almost as bad as a MacBook Pro - it you put it on your lap, you run the risk of third degree burns...

    On the flip side, the keyboard and screen are outstanding, and I find the fingerprint reader implementation is the best I've seen so far. I didn't have a chance to do any gaming on it, so I can't comment on that front.
