I agree with Kenglish - unless you'll be overclocking I don't see the need to spend the extra £325 on the 4930mx. A good comparison none-the-less can be found here Intel Core i7 4930MX vs 4900MQ

Unless mistaken this is a performance thing only (?). RAID-0 trades reliability for speed. i.e. throughput speed is roughly doubled and fault tolerance is halved. If either drive in a RAID-0 array fails you loose ALL the data. RAID-0 is great for temporary storage of scratch data and also for the OS (assuming it's well backed up) but beyond that I would not use striped volumes for long term data storage.

Agree with BlackJack above. Happy with my M18, except perhaps the hit and miss of using USB 3.0. Also, had to give up trying to create an AlienRespawn backup using 3.0 USB stick and instead get a 2.0. The WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) is also higher as it runs a lot more quieter when idling than my old R1.

Getting 5 degrees difference between my two 780M's. GPU 1 on idle is at 40 degrees and GPU 2 on 37 degrees. Also got a notepal U3 under it atm

Ouch, that made me cringe and think of how carefully I unpacked my AW. Mind you I'm sure it got chucked around a lot more during transport from China, but still ...
