Probably not going to post for a while... I simply won't have the time. I'll be away ... 13+ months at the very least. (Deployment and/or oversea assignment)

Very nice setup you have , One Question how is the R400 holding is its build quality up to standards?

Thanx for the inquiry... where shall I start?

The main problem I have with my R400 (7443 CTO) above anything else is the the screen. It feels flimsy and cheap. After comparing it with the T43 model, I was greatly disappointed... When the screen of the R400 is shut, the amount of up and down pressure and movement makes one wonder whether it can withstand certain day to day situations...

Overall however, I am satisfied with the build and performance. the 6-cell battery life is decent and the 5300 wifi is great at picking up signals from all types of locations.
