Short version. It's HUGE. The resolution is 1920x1080.
The 64Gb SSD drive for the C is horribly configured. like 46 for the OS, 10 for the recovery DVD's....
First thing I did was make the recovery DVD's. 3 for the OS, 1 Instant repair DVD, and 1 for the Driver DVD.
Then immediately pulled the 320 drive, put in my 500, reformatted all drives and built it with Win 7 Ultimate.
Clean install, no junk apps.
used the Driver DVD to reinstall all drivers and few apps that I wanted.
**Warning, if you do it this way for some reason the camera driver won't install** No loss for me there. I didn't use the camera on the last one.
I haven't run any benchmarking software yet... But I can tell you, I played a game that I've never been able to play on ultra high res mode.
Another comment. The realtek WiFi card is SLOW to associate, has B, G and N (No A, no N on A frequencies, etc) There's a series of touch buttons on the left of the keyboard. They are VERY sensitive and have started to annoy me already. The BD/DVD eject button is also at the very base of the drive which is nearly UNDER the computer and hard to press.
The shiny almost carbon fiber looking case is a fingerprint magnet too.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Regrets: The wifi card is less than impressive. I have a dual router where N channel can be on the A band and this cheapo card can't do it yet the $39 special at best buy can.
