Got the new laptop today. Initial response is that I am pretty impressed. The part that grabbed me first was the opening welcome movie, which was pretty striking (My God, it’s full of stars!). I opted for the higher resolution screen, which makes this puppy as nice little HD machine.

More review type stuff along with photos of me unboxing and promptly groping the machine will be forth-coming.
