ah, now these are much more facts than opinions.
how is the bios compared to other notebooks? i ask because the only other bios i've played with was a dell from a while ago (not indicative of the recent lines) and i believe a sager, which is considerably more enthusiast based than mainstream.
as for the components, when i was looking it up i found most if not all the components seemed to come from the same source as other vendors. for example, the lcd display on the X1000 series come from the same manufacturer as the Dell displays (can't recall the name, based somewhere in China).
as for the motherboards, i always did hate the lack of portabillity with propeitary components now that you mention it.
