The ram is a bit overkill but it'll be my only computer for a couple years at uni so I thought I'd go all out

Huge thanks to John Medley, Carl Auckland and Anthony Cunliffe, and I appreciate the guys on Order tracking being very patient with my irate build time emails.

The lappie is fast as hell, and runs a lot of the latest games in high quality. I was worried at first because of the lead time and some of the issues listed by some of the members in the support sections - but I'm convinced now that the lead times are due to the back to school rush and that there's a massive unsung majority with perfectly working machines. It may

Only have two liittle gripes I have, (though they're not major) and the first is that my backspace key doesn't seem to want to stay on - Lol it's come off twice now (completely bricked it the first time) but it clips straight back in . And that I never received the bullguard security software (although it's a trial and i have AV software anyway)

I may do a review later with pics because I noticed there really weren't any of the enigma/NBLB2 chassis when I was waiting for mine to arrive

Excellent news and we are glad you are happy with your purchase.

The backspace key came off? if you have reason to believe it is loose then please report it to the callcentre for a repair!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the new Laptop. I'll back up Gormans comment on keyboard, if it's falling off after a week or so then I'd contact Tech Support to see what can be done sooner rather than later.

Yeah, it's a bit weird, it makes a noise when i push it down, whereas all the other keys are silent - Thing is though, I won't have the time before I set off, and I'll need it for my course anyway so sending it off isn't really an option.. Push come to shove though, I'll find a generic keyboard and do the replacement myself

Review Please!

I am planning on purchasing one at the start of next month but there doesn't seem to be very much information about the laptop case itself (not ports etc. but build quality and overall feel) It would be great to see a review with some pictures.
