    My laptop is 6 days earlier than estimated delivery!! It should be here friday. I am not going to get an SSD yet, I will wait and see how I like the laptop speed as it is before I drop money on it. I am excited!

    I picked up my M14x yesterday and love it! The 2630 feels a lot quicker (and is a lot quicker ;)) than the 720QM in my M15x, and although I was initially worried about the lack of an aluminum exterior, I really like the look and feel of the soft-touch plastics on this M14x. Also, the interior is really well laid out and this system feels more solid than ever, no doubt thanks to the very small form factor.
