Just cloning the whole drive will certainly allow for real startup benchmarks too.

Unsure if its worth a thread ... yet. Got to wait until pay gets resolved (recent job change ...) before the order goes in. Have heard the same about the drive needing some training, but it seems like a more realistic option than going straight for an SSD, I definitely need the storage!
Back on topic, I was chatting to my stepson last night, he had expressed an interest in buying a BB Playbook. His only reason for it? He's running a BB as his phone.
I suggested that if he really wants a tablet, the first option has to be the iPad. If he can't afford that, then go for the Advent Vega. After further discussion, we agreed that a laptop or netbook would be a much better option. It'll be used for University work, lots of typing, possibly a lot of storage requirements, so a physical keyboard and device with a few hundred gig of storage would be the best choice by far.
