    It's finally here!

    Canada here
    Date of Purchase: 10/02/2008
    Estimated Ship Date: on or before 25/02/2008
    Shipped: 18/02/2008
    Received: 21/02/2008

    What can I say? It's beautiful. :D
    Oh man, can't wait to play with it, just gonna head out to get a wireless router so then I can finally download updates and other stuff on this beast!

    I am very happy with it so far, just couple of complaints, the panel that's on the top of the screen (also covers the webcam) is a little "loose", afraid it will break anytime. The touchpad is not what I imagined it to be, it's very rough compared to other laptops I have tried.

    Overall it's all good. Will post more as in the coming weeks..

    Well I dunno, it's maybe I selected the "Product RED" also $50 goes to the foundation :)

    In the province of quebec the taxes are high, so the total was around 1700, + taxes came to 1950.
