I was reading about it earlier. Think I saw on reddit someone said it was the best for that price range.

Where did you buy yours from? Only place I saw it for 900ish was the Lenovo website, but they are sold out now.

I got a 256g ssd upgraded into my old dell studio hybrid from a 250g hdd, made such a huge difference and it runs much quieter now. Been my office computer for almost 6 years now when folks told me it would last two years tops due to being built off an old notebook board. Runs windows 7 64bit professional smoooooth. I got the ssd for 45 bucks on amazon kindle specials too what whatttt! I'm not really a tech guy in the least but since u guys are all talking about video games and nerdy stuff I had to brag about my new upgrade haha!

Truuuu. I'm still debating if I even need/want a gaming laptop. I've basically had this on and off urge of wanting one for awhile now, but it's probably for the best if I didn't get one, just contributes to wasting time. I've been playing my PS3 occasionally now because it's summer and I'm not doing anything. Want to beat GTA V already. Don't really touch it once classes start back up.

I've used it.. does a decent job on my car's paint. I don't have a whole lot of swirls/scratches since my car MY13, so I went with Meg's UC instead of M105.

I follow up with M205 on a milder pad though. Makes a huge difference

I'm thinking of using UC followed by SwirlX by hand, then I'll buy a DA later.

Did UC do anything for the swirls? Or should I use M205 + SwirlX instead of UC + SwirlX? Or UC + M205 + SwirlX?

You should give UC a go first. Based on those pics, you have quite a few swirls in your paint

Problem is... you're gonna shoot yourself in the head if you do all 3 by hand lol. I say UC + M205 or UC + SwirlX (I've never tried SwirlX btw).

If you already have these products, just try out different combos on different parts of the car and see what you like. If you haven't already bought the stuff, then I'd probably go with UC + M205, or M105 + M205. M105 is definitely tried and true (iCrap used it); it will take out probably 80-90% of the scratches/swirls.

edit:
I started polishing my car last weekend... did the front end and the front passenger side door. Gonna take some time, but I'm getting there
