The 8 speed is not only a gem but also clearly has the bugs worked out prior to production. Hopefully they have fixed the problem for good. Still think the 8 speed is more advanced, and more befitting with the n55.
+1 - n55 + 8at go together like cookies and milk...

On another note, is this X1 some weird consolation prize for not bringing the f20/f21 over stateside? If so, it's a crappy consolation prize.
