    i am ordering a new z1290x:
    i7, 256g ssd, 4g ram(self upgrade to 8g later), 1600x900 and metal shield with win7 pro. :D

    and i have one question concerning the large capacity battery. :confused: how heavy it will be with the z, and how long it lasts on normal use, dvd playback or gameplay.
    thanks for your help in advance. :)
