Soldato
I don't really have the ability to write a comprehensive review, at least not with the kind of time I have on my hands just now, so I'll jot down a couple bullet points of what I'm thinking, almost 2 weeks in to my ultima adventure...
Looks: quite simple, but certainly not bad looking. Loving the aluminium! However, it certainly doesn't look like it's an expensive speed machine.
Weight: as it's not exactly the slimest of machines it does of course carry a bit of weight but no more than your average machine and considering what it's holding I found this very impressive.
Speeeeed: It's fast. Running on Windows Vista Ultimate x64, everything is pretty much on demand. As much as I'd love to give you 3dmax figures etc, I won't, because I'm not that kind. Also, I don't know how.
I have been playing Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3 on the stock settings flawlessly, and then hooked it up to my 32" tv, running on 1920x1080 and fairly high settings I only got the occasional bout of graphical slowdown but I forgave it for it sheer beauty. (Again, no FPS numbers...)
Considering the amount of heat this thing churns out it's also surprisingly quiet (it also comes with a lovely "silent mode" button which clocks the graphics down a bit and turns off the fan - great for the non-gaming moments)
Extra bonus category - Ease of fitting a wireless adaptor: with the correct screwdriver, very easy
General Happyness Score: 4.9/5 (just to be akward)
I've pretty much ran out of opinions as far as I'm aware, but if anyone has anything specific they want I guess I can try & answer
A few pics would be ace
