Had my X51 for a week. Ordered it with Windows 8, even though I was really thinking hard about sticking with Windows 7.
After a week of frustration I really wish I had stuck with Windows 7 and not opted for Windows 8. While some features are great other are so frustrating that I just give up, it's just a crazy operating system, like going back to 'Vista' or 'ME'. I pretty much have to research most of the stuff I just did automatically on Win 7.
I though I'd go with the Win 8 to save potential $50 upgrade path from Win 7, but that was probably a mistake on my part.
I looked a a downgrade path - but getting Win 7 installed plus all the drivers has led to some pretty big issue for some folks so I guess I;m stuck with it until Microsoft release 'Windows Blue' that I heard could some as soon a April !!! 13 ?
