Decided I should buy one, what with Student discount bringing it in a fair bit cheeper and all.
After looking at benchmarks, and info on the 950GM chipset Intel have used in it, looks like a pretty good all round media pc. Lot faster than the old one, with Front Row, bigger HD and 5.1 audio, I think it'll do well as a home entertainment system.
punky_mukny, just read about the Intel chipset and it varies its memory useage depending on what your doing, varies between 32mb and 80mb which is pretty good feature.
