pcmag's review of the 2nd gen i3-2350m version
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2...849,00.asp
as well as notebook's analysis of the goodies (i3 version though)

This was good through 12/26 so it looks like the deal is DEAD...

I would argue it is a much better OS and have shown the public the metro look much too much and have people under the impression that it is vastly different which it simply is not.
Hopefully Microsoft will reconsider and come out with a patch to put the Start menu back in and make it part of the OS instead of people having to use third party apps to do it.
And by the way, the PCmag review is for a 2nd generation i3-2350m which is not even close to the i5-3210m...
There are more +'s but the fact that head to head it will run faster than 7 makes it worth it. Anyone that tell you otherwise has not done an actual real world head to head. I have even done a head to head on slowish/basic usage netbooks (the Acer 722 that everybody got at target). Did a fresh install of Win8 Ult. Enterprise Edition and fresh of Win7 Ult. Enterprise Edition on two identical machines (even bought at the same time. The Win8 machine consistently beat the 7 machine in tasks (was 1:1 on several tasks) including boot. Booted 7 seconds faster after both machines were 100% updated from MS.

Great deal for an i5. Never owned a Fujitsu before though. anybody know if they are good reliability wise?
