    Hey EGC, what is your impression of the handrest material? I am just wondering if I am being overly sensitive or if it is really cheap?

    DaCheese... when i went to see a machine at Best Buy it seems like the handrest area was made from the same material as the cover... on mine which was customized it is obviously not the same material as the cover and is plastic... and although i wouldn't say that it is horrible it is a little cheap and causes my hands well right hand really to sweat that is the side that seems to warm up a little more than the other....

    but really if i was keeping this i could learn to live with it very easily...

    Hahaha... the whole camera situation... i will be sending it back this week.. But after looking at a lot of other machines again and doing even more research i have decided i will simply re-order another one... I thought about the acer 8204... far too expensive for my budget... a fujitsu but it only offers the 1.66ghz duo core.. so i scratched that... and if i could afford it my next machine would have been the new MacBookPro... so i think the FE is still my best choice.. and its nice to look at!!! The only other thing i don't like about it is the annoying placement of the headphone jack... And i wish they would have placed at least one USB port on the rear of the machine... other than those things and the sweaty palm area i think its a great looking and performing machine!!

    What about Lenovo, and I think Asus is coming out with some pretty nice duos too. The Asus V6j looks nice I think.
