I got mine on Dec 20th, right on time for Christmas. Of course I had
bought it for myself as a Birthday present the month previous (Nov 12 @
~6am :).

The screen in back-light mode is incredibly sharp, I only use the
backlight when needed. It is indeed a pretty cool machine. My only gripe
is that it will not sleep, it is either on or off. But apparently that is
supposed to be fixed in the next release of the software. TTYL.
