    I purchased this for my fiancee for X-Mas and will be fooling around with it when it comes in to set it up for her (clean install, transferring her pictures/music, that sort of thing).

    I can honestly say I'm probably going to be stealing this from her a lot (lol).

    Anyways, I ordered it with:

    i5-430m
    4GB RAM
    420m
    500 7.2k HDD
    And most importantly: B+RG (really just better WLED???) FHD screen.

    I'm most excited about the screen as it's hard to find good panels on consumer laptops. I don't see many owner threads about this laptop yet, so I'll try to put as much information as possible when I get it.

    The machine will be shipping to me very soon.

    (I got mostly basic options except the screen becasue my fiancee really doesn't need a 435m or i7 processor. That's mostly something I'd get haha)

    Oh yeah, price came out to $1055 shipped.

    Not too shabby for anodized aluminum and a screen that hopefully outputs 92% of the Adobe spectrum.
