well, by making the parts soldered, they can make the laptop lighter and have better power management, and of course making the laptop thinner (something desired in an ultrabook). I prefer being able...

The battery life issues are twofold:
#1 HD4000 is a joke. It's a battery eater all by itself, and still can't keep up with Llano. Intel threw electricity at THE IGP in an attempt to make up for...

Was the promotion automatically applied when you gave them an email address ending in .edu?
Are you saying that you got it for 595.00 with Xbox at your local store...cause that would be HOT

Ivy is horrible in 17w applications. HD4000 has has no real benefit over HD3000 until you get to 35w --and Ivy reduces battery life in ultraportables over Sandy.

Try finding another one with easily repaired/upgraded components. HP makes the only one currently. Lenovo may make something comparable, but they sure haven't yet.

How could it reduce battery life? Does it have to do with the 22nm process error you mentioned?

Does the Acer S3 qualify for free xbox OP? That wouldn't be bad if it does.
*NEVERMIND: Students: Get a free Xbox when you buy a PC for $699 or more
