The wireless seems fine, the keyboard has the slightest bulge in the middle, but as a very similar feel to my T61's keyboard. With the power settings on balanced mode, windows reports 2:45 at 96%. BTW, there is a BIOS update on lenovo's web page that lets you disable the jingle on startup. I just got my U330 today.

If you were to install vista/xp 64-bit, you would be able to utilize 4gb+ @Abe, the 3gb limit is a 32-bit OS limit (nothing to do specifically with the laptop).

Once xp is installed, install the SATA drivers, reboot back to bios, change to SATA AHCI, reboot windows, no bluescreen!

I understand if you out in 4 gigs, the bios will possibly pickup 3.75 of it. Any one else have any experience with this yet? I am on the fence about this laptop because of the memory limitation and XP not a downgrade option by IBM. Any body else put off by the 3 gb Ram limitation?
