Of course I go on a week-long trip just as mine's about to be delivered. Stupid Army!

Sorry if somebody posted this already but Laptop Magazine did a review of the L502X recently. Not the most in depth review, but they did get the backlit chicklet keyboard. And I really doubt this system would ONLY get 4hrs with the 9 cell battery while surfing...

Thanks for checking. Dell Support said it wouldn't, But they're not always accurate.

Yea, some first impressions would be awesome! :P I'm excited to get one myself.

You should post your specs in your Sig.

Oh and did you get the new chicklet keyboard?

Chemman, does your BIOS support XMP?

Judging by Extreme Memory, it doesn't look like any of the available XMP memory is certified for use with mobile Sandy Bridge processors. In any case, Dell BIOSes usually are totally locked down, unless maybe they were marketed as overclock-able.

The new Alienware systems allow one to select XMP profiles, and they use the same processors as the new XPS line.

Only the Alienware desktops have those options, not the laptops. Unless you're seeing something completely different.
