[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1155972, member: 33722"] I ended up with a 2.13Ghz C2D - 4GB RAM - 256GB model. I included a USB/Ethernet adapter for use at work and on other secured networks. To be fair, I do have two gripes... -No back light on the keyboard -Power button is a keyboard key where the eject button use to be I was use to the back lighting, but truth be told the lack of it hasn't stopped me from doing anything. The display is plenty bright enough to see what I'm doing. The power button relocation threw me at first, but since I never really used the eject button previously it hasn't been an issue. One big bonus is battery life. I use it for surfing the web and light tasks nightly after work. Since receiving it last Tuesday, I've used it unplugged exclusively and had to charge the battery three times. Kind of weird seeing the battery indicator icon turn red to warn you of a "low battery" when you still have ~2 hours of juice left! [/QUOTE]
