This thing is sweet! I got it this afternoon and it is very solid. The keyboard has no flex at all, feels solid. The case is solid all around the lid, the base around the keyboard all solid. The 8600 I just bought for my wife, has a ton of flex all around it. This is much more solidly built. The screen is not high gloss like xbright screens but is very bright and clear. No dead pixels. The sound is exceptional. Everyone is going to be happy with this laptop for sure. I took some pictures with my digital camera but have to figure out how to get them on the web tomorrow. I am glad I got the xga screen, couldn't imagine the text any smaller. Its sweet!
