Summary - stunning
This will probably be my last post to this forum on this incredible machine.
As I sit here, looking at my silver workhorse I feel a little sad that it will soon be going. The keyboard now shines, indicating my keystroke pattern. There are a few scratches, maybe a couple of gouges.
It is still the fastest laptop in the company, especially after the 4GB upgrade.
It is very distinctive and noticeable, clients often comment on it, "You must be gamer" my reply "No...I need the performance"
I run this thing > 12 hours a day, I optimize thousands of portfolios daily, intense algorithms and lots of database load. I have doing that (on this machine) daily. Never a problem (that I could not fix)
As you may know (if you follow my posts). My company as recently been purchased and 'corporate IT' insist that AW is not kosher.
That migration is going to occur in the next two weeks, I will be given a 'secretary class' Dell, and this laptop disposed.
I do get a nice big ESX server though to pacify me.
BUT (against my will) I am now in the ma,rket for a new (personal) notebook. I may get a Macbook pro + a server grade dell at home. But... if I wanted a single machine them AW would be my choice.
If you are prepared to keep your notebook cool and maintain it (software and hardware) then BUY a AW.
