I know that this may not be typical, but is there anyway to provide a review of this machine? I'd really like to know your 2nd impressions and any other details about your experience.

This is the laptop I'm ready to buy if it's worth the price. How is build quality? Bloatware preinstalled? Any bugs you've noticed? These types of issues would greatly help me decide if I should commit to purchasing this pc or taking the plunge this fall into a Macbook Pro. My iPhone 3G has sparked my interest in trying out Apples computers.
