Who would spend that kind of money on a laptop. That's just irresponsible. hehe. Still playing the waiting game. If anyone's curious I ordered mine on 1/14 from Malibal and haven't received an email or anything about shipments so it looks like it might be a while longer.

If you ordered on the 14th, then your order should be shipping this week!

I recieved an email from xoticpc saying mine was in phase 2. So whatever that means. Because i had upgraded my screen to the 90% gamut, so it will take an additional week for me, but the lady i spoke with told me my card wouldn't be charged until the laptop was ready to go and they also charged my card already. So, i really don't know.

When did you order yours? I ordered mine from xoticpc 1/9/2011 and I still haven't gotten any confirmation regarding phase movement =(

Weird, ordered mine about the same time.

Woah sweet. Right on time before Crysis 2 comes out.

I have a D-Link; DIR-825 Dual N Router. Which card would be best for me to use? The Intel Advanced-N 6230 or the Intel Ultimate-N 6300?
Thanks

Hopefully Xotic PC gets my check tomorrow and i can start waiting for the check to clear, then i'm gonna speed it up by sending them the image of the cleared check from my bank account (they said this can be done). So i'm hoping i can get my pc shipped out in 2 weeks ~crosses fingers~

Ummm, silly question. I was really hoping to use this with my recording gear, and my interface is Firewire and not USB. I've just noticed that the P151HM I was planning to buy does not have Firewire, nor does it have an expresscard slot or any other means that I can see to add Firewire.

Does that mean I'm out of luck? Or would be be possible to use USB3 in some way, shape or form to add a Firewire 800 port? My eSATA storage is accounted for, but that may end up being a moot point if I have no way to connect the interface.

There's lots of USB to firewire adapters out there. Most of them I've seen are USB 2.0 but I'm sure there's gotta be some 3.0 versions out or coming out soon. I do think it is kind of a bum deal not to have an expresscard slot though. that opens up all sorts of expansion possibilities for people.

[disord3r]

If you have a few minutes, could you dig one of those those up? All I'm able to find are cables where people apparently have no idea what USB B looks like and are just calling them firewire.

Like ViDock. That's probably one of the reasons why it was removed.
