I ordered the 17" MBP with 256GB SSD two days ago for my company. I will test the hard drive as soon as I get it (4 or 6 weeks to wait... maybe too long...)

I'd appreciate it if you can run the xbench disk drive test results!
 
I told them I don't want a dime, just a kickass expensive laptop. So I'm maxing it out (8gb ram, 2.9's etc) because I know I won't be getting another computer for a long time.
Haha awesome - I made the same agreement with my parents when I graduated as well :D.

Enjoy the laptop and good luck in your CS career!
