I haven't received my inferno yet, but based on my m11x owning experience I would change to 8GB RAM. It's only about £17 of an upgrade from your configuration... Also, I personally would find the 120GB drive prohibitive in size.

I would highly recommend the Seagate Momentus XT 750GB. These have varied reviews (they are hybrid SSD/Mechanical drives) - from my experience I wouldn't be without one in a single drive system these days. I am hoping they release a 1TB version soon.

I took your advice and ordered 8gb of RAM but don't need much storage capacity so kept the SSD.

It's already been built just waiting for this bank holiday to be over so it can progress further!

Has yours arrived yet? I'm going to do a review of mine, I have been very impressed with PC Specialist so far I just hope the laptop is as good as the service!
