If you tell me what "720p mkv files are and I can get one, I will try it for you. How's that for not knowing tons of tech stuff.?

IMHO--this is the best keyboard I have ever typed on--like it better than the thinkpad keyboard even and the mac keyboard too.

I'm glad to have found this forum!

I just ordered a Dell Adamo PEARL 2.16GHz/4GB/256GB SSD notebook from the Dell website on 11/6 with an estimate ship date of mid December.

I re-checked the order status page this morning to discover the ship date was moved up, and I'll be receiving my order on 11/17 (with standard shipping)!

I'm very excited to receive this laptop soon, and I'll be looking forward to putting it through the paces. I ordered a Blu-ray drive from Newegg and a DisplayPort -> HDMI Cable from Monoprice, so I'll see if I can figure out if audio over HDMI is possible, too.

I'll keep you posted as to how the new notebook performs!

Here's a 720p mkv file.

It's a torrent and you'll probably need the CCCP codecs to play. Not sure if you want to go through all that trouble just for me.

WOW that is pretty fast. Good thing it doesnt take a month for us to receive it. I guess ill be ordering my adamo soon too then. I really didnt want to wait a month for a laptop but you have convinced me to order it.

@lilyang
Yeah that's definitely me :) There's nothing like an old school ghettoblaster with some new school tricks:

@tissot
I'd be more than happy to check for 720p .mkv playback. Do I still need the codec to play it back using VLC?

@eihcir90
Yeah, seeing such a delayed shipping date initially was kind of a gamble. But I'm glad Dell came through and built it fast. As long as you order before the Christmas rush, you should be in the clear.

I think it works with VLC, Not too sure though.

Yeah, VLC should have all the codecs you need to play everything.
