Same here, waiting on it, how's it do in games? I have an m4 to put in mine

I see youve upgraded the RAM, where's the best place to get it cheap?

I've only played Deus Ex Human Revolution and WoW so far, and I don't think they're the most demanding games, but I've got everything on maximum and they run perfectly.

I only put the extra 4GB in because I had it spare from when I upgraded my XPS from 4GB to 8GB. Since the M17 has 4 slots I thought I might as well chuck it in.

Currently 2 x 4GB DDR3 it can be had for a very decent price. I got 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 for just under £40 about a month ago and it's dropped a little more since then.

what kind of price does something like that go for
