Despite the fact I had to go through 5 swaps to get a unit with a Samsung panel and one free of defects, I can say this is the best computer I've ever owned.
The display is stunning, the graphics card is powerful, and the size and weight is just right.
More power to you. ^^^These are my favorite reasons. VM's on SSD's are very nice. Going back to even a 10,000RPM Raptor is painful. I have about 40GB of VM's. XP/7/Linux. I feel your needs.
