If you start running powerfull programs it'll drop rapetly | ||

Average Boot Time : 60 sec WTF? I have a desktop with a single Intel SSD (and not 2 faster ones in RAID) and my boot time is under 20 seconds. | ||

However would I recommend anyone buy this laptop? Nope. Not unless you have the money to throw at it (especially with the rise of netbooks, this laptop is not value for money). | ||

Joke beside, it is THE overkill for daily use. It is only viable option when you make more then that in a month. | ||

It's like 1700+ for parts and +Name = 4700... that thing's specs are merely 8GB 1066 and timings aren't even listed... prob like 9-9-9-24-2T... 330M... wtf... they should give you like 2x480M or 2x5870M variants... should be 4cores x1 socket from 2cores x1 socket for that price... asus has things equal/better than what they sell you for the same price... | ||

Windows ultimate a 13 inch 1920x1080 screen super expensive 2x 256 ssd's very expensive Intel® Core™ i7 - 640M expensive You're paying for portability over power. sure you can get better performance for that price, but can you lug it around like it's nothing. 13" and 3 lbs. The screen and the ssd's alone would retail like 2k, considering i've been around business that are willing to spend 2k just on a monitor i suppose this would fit into the high end business man who needs power but more importantly the ability to lug it around everywhere. | ||

These $5k Toughbooks are pretty cool though. Supposedly they can withstand drops from 100 feet, and survive a full cycle through a residential dishwasher. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834150169 | ||

Get a $500 laptop, a $1500 desktop and then do the same thing in another 2-3 years if you want. 60 seconds boot time sounds pretty slow for a SSD to me | ||

Any for people talking about "having to fit" 2 SSD in a laptop, have you ever seen the size of one? It's pretty small. BIOS i bet if you turned of little things you could cut that to nearly half. SSD only makes it faster when it goes to load the os. I'm guessing all the little things like bluetooth ad's to the time to boot. | ||
