Windows 8 works surprisingly well. I'm trying out the Release Preview on my laptop since it's also a tablet. I find it runs faster and smoother than Windows 7. The touchscreen seems more responsive than before too. My only issue is how the laptop was built since the frame surrounding the screen has a slight rise, it kinda makes it hard to do some of the gestures on the touchscreen.

The combination SSD and Z77 chipset should be good for Smart Response Technology,
is this a real-world phenomenon, or just a marketing gadget?

I'm not using SRT with my SSD. It's being used as my OS drive as well as programs I want to load quickly.

You just need to reserve a part of the SSD (20 to 64 Gb) in order for SRT to work.
But if you do not have a SATA disk, SRT might be at work already without you even knowing it!
