Just got me a new workstation, errr I mean laptop. Been saving my pennies for this one.

Overall I am perfectly happy and impressed.

Finally went with SSD and just so happens this puppies runs at SATA III in the Main HDD bay and also the DVD Ultrabay. Down the road I will slap a 512g in there hopefully.

I have never had a machine as fast as this. It's un fookin believable !!

Everything is INSTANT, never a lag, eva.
