The only difference between X1 and A1 is the bigger harddrive? Couldn't see any other differences in specs on Amazon.
I preordered anyway the U33JC with GentechPC no need for an optical drive and a bigger screen. If the U43JC would have a better graphic card, maybe I would consider it but not with the 310M.

tried the free gift card deal and worked out fine. total cost 999 with 150 gift card coming also. have been looking for a while for new laptop and this deal sealed it. should have computer in 1 or 2 days

That's a great deal! It comes out to be cheaper than the UL80JT and U45JC

Make sure to report back with an unboxing or review of some sort. We would all appreciate it.

Looks like you buy a U43JC-X1 from Amazon and get a $150 gift card.

Thanks for that link! I just canceled my preorder and ordered from Amazon. Hopefully it'll be here by this weekend!

I think the major differences for the X1 are...

- 500 gb instead of 640 gb
- no bluetooth
- 1 year warranty instead of 2? (this was discussed a while back, but I'm not positive)

Yah, that is a great deal. I will wait for the U33JC though just because I prefer "smaller" laptops. Hopefully there will be a deal on that too!

You can Use Your Credit Cards' Extended Warranty

Most of the models on amazon have 5400 rpm hard drives. Bump that to 7200 rpm and I might spring for one.
