:-) I love it actually. It's a bit heavier than my last notebook but it's great to be able to do whatever I need to while travelling. It even has a built-in Wacom digitizer beside the track pad and the color sensor stuff for adjusting LCD color, a powered USB 3 port while the laptop is off (for charging devices), video card for driving multiple external monitors, etc.
I stopped short of the dual-screen option. But the idea of slide-out 10" screen beside the 17" screen was tempting... :-) The biggest challenge is that it doesn't fit in the xray trays at most airports.

You have a laptop that has three hard drives in it? What laptop is that?
