Hi guys,

the specs are:

Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3630QM (2.40GHz) 6MB
8GB SAMSUNG 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 4GB)

From experience my order was built,tested and QC's in 3 days, and it was shipped on the 4th day, so I'd say you will have the computer in your hands 5 workings days from when it was built usually.

I'm on the 2nd working day - I guess the late Thursday order didn't count ;) and it's still 'processing'. Hopefully by the beginning of next week - I'm off abroad on business on the 16th - would be fab to take it with me!

Gave PCS a ring today to check on progress.

The nice chap said it's still processing but should be with me before the end of next week!

Yay! :p

It's here!

I've installed Linux Mint 14 64bit and it flies. Boots from cold to login screen in 10 secs!

currently sat with it in chicago airport and it's outstanding.

Will do a pic and review thread over the next few days.

cheers
