I was very surprised to see the i7 in the configuration options. I'm also ordering a 160GB intel SSD since HP didn't offer it. $325 Bing Cashback on the way, so I'm getting the SSD for next to nothing.

Just ordered mine. Sure am glad this came out, I was about to jump on either a Thinkpad Edge or one of the CULV ASUS Thin & Light notebooks. This is a much better deal. I wasn't sure about getting the 9 cell battery, but the product demo says you can get up to 12 hours on it, so I decided to go for the deal that includes both batteries.

Does anyone know how much bloatware I can expect to be on this thing? The required option of Microsoft Works isn't a good sign, but it's not hard to just nuke the hard drive clean.

not too shabby.

how accurate is HP with their estimated build dates? i almost NEED this laptop before June 1, and June 1 is the estimated build date + 5-6 days for standard shipping. im still currently running windows 7 RC and the expiration is set for June 1

I still hadn't received an email from Bing, and I wanted to make some changes to my order anyway, so I just got off the phone with HP to cancel my order. I am about to reorder right now and I want to be sure to get the BCB.

Did you guys already have your dm4 in your cart when you went through Bing or did you configure through the link when you ordered?

I went back and forth about the optional dedicated graphics card. In the end, I don't actually use my computer for much multimedia besides music and an occasional streamed NFL game (which is limited more by quality of the feed than GPU power), so I decided to just be content with the integrated graphics. This computer is well more than I need for grad school multitasking. Should be fun to see how it handles my usual plethora of office documents and browsing tabs
