Above is the latest Intel driver and below is a newer driver from Dell. The one above caused my screen to flash while on battery, the Dell driver below fixed it and this is the one that I would recommend.

does the screen use the AG coating, mine looks dirty and grainy and it has a very slight flicker and im really not that impressed with the screen at all

ok
bios A16 is up....
who is brave enough to try.....

Got A16 yesterday from support after I could not shut down (system always wanted to restart). Haven't played with it much yet other than verifying that I can now shutdown properly.

Excellent, this brought my graphics up from a 4.6 to a 6.9! Huge improvement! Much appreciated!

"petekarn" tell us if A16 bios fix fan problem

[Paul.Mason]

What's your fan problem?

[alelo]

- System is idling. CPU temperatures around 48-50C. Fan is off.
- Very light browsing (no heavy javascript etc), CPU temperatures go over 55C and the fan kicks in
- The fan seems to be running at a medium level which is quite noisy
- If the system is left alone, after about 1-2 minutes the fan shuts off

Im having an annoying problem with the touchpad (I think) while browsing. Firefox and IE randomly jump back to a previous page when I move the pointer. It is hard to trace what specifically sets it off, other than it is always as I move the pointer in some way that the page suddenly changes. Its getting very annoying.

Dell-Bill-B, when will the l702x get 1600mhz ram support? As the l502x is supported why not us?

I am told we have no plans to qualify 1666MHz on the 17.
