Ive not used one, the spec is very nice but I would have expected the 2GHz chip for around 1400 quid.

Its a bit average in the GFX games dept tbh which is putting me off - I dont play a lot but Id like the ability to play occasionally with decent graphics and frame rate..

The other one Im looking at is the Advent 7092, specs below..

That sexy piano black will become a bloody horrible mess of finger and palm prints within 14.862 seconds of you taking it out of the box :P

probably suffers the usual problems, big, heavy and relatively short battery life. Great if you want a Desk Top Replacement but nort if you want something to use on the go.

Unless theyve changed them the trackpad is terrible, really rough surface. Fingerprints are a massive problem with them too.

Nice machine in all other resepcts though :)
