I have it but with an SL 9400 that I OCed.

Great little thing, specially at 500$ that I bought it at. You can also make an eGPU thanks to the expresscard to do some light gaming

How did You overclock it? I was looking at undervolting rather than overclocking but If I can do both even better

Yea it looks nicer compared to my old D430 can't wait till I get my hands on it tomorrow.

Anyone used HSPA+ on the 3 network I have read anything from 3 mbit to 12 mbit. I used to get 1-2mbit on hsdpa.

I think the next upgrade will be a ubiquiti sr-71 pcie wifi card with 500mw output
