That above link is also the best price I could find, and they deliver to Australia ( for similar specs, I would have had to pay about $3,500 - I ended up paying $1,200 ). I have the touchscreen "working", with an out-of-tree I2C kernel driver. I'm not really sure how touchscreens work in Linux, so I'm not sure if I've got it right yet. The multi-touch support seems to be working - pinch-zoom and double-finger scroll is working in some apps. But Bitwig ( pro audio app, and one of the main reasons I wanted a touchscreen ) doesn't behave as though it's getting touch events - it behaves like it's getting regular mouse events. If someone here knows more about this, I'd very much like help with it - though it's obviously got nothing to do with E. Anyway, I'm very happy with the laptop so far. It's built Gentoo in about 6 hours ( going from a stage-3 tarball to completing the first "emerge @world" ). As well as this being very fast - it's also a good test of stability and cooling - and it's been perfect on both so far.
