It seems that the W840Di is Intel's favorite notebook. They used it to demonstrate their QX9300 processor and now they used it as the basis of a notebook modding competition they hosted in Germany. The entry blogs are on the right side of the page and the competition is already over; the winners were unveiled at CeBIT.

I would have been interested had Intel hosted this competition in the United States, as I slightly modded my system already (and already in the process of doing another set of mods to it). But even if I did, the winning notebook in the German competition would have pwnd mine.
