The i5-520m is minimally better than the i5-430m for everyday use, as far as I've heard.

I see. For every day use I doubt you'd notice the difference. I'm sure the improvements are shown through gaming. Would the battery life be about the same on both though?

Only the I5-520M, I5-540M and I7-620M have the Comm suite.

Okay, I just encountered my first problem with the DM4T --

I've noticed that everytime it makes any sound, it emits a short high-pitched click first. This occurs before all notification sounds (like when I plug in my iPhone, start playing an MP3, or receive an instant message).

Any ideas?

I'm definitely not an expert, but I had an HP hdx16 for a while, and it used to make a clicking sound before playing sounds intermittently. I eventually figured out (after a lot of net searching) that there was a power setting that turned the speakers off after a set period of time, so when you played a sound, it would turn them back on with a "pop" or "click" before playing the sound. There should be a power management setting for the sound device or something, I would think. So you might want to try that! Good luck!

For all those who ordered on either June 2nd or 3rd -- are your orders still in production? Mine hasn't been shipped yet, and I'm actually a little surprised.

two quick questions from someone who is considering buying this machine:

1. Is the Intel Graphic capable of playing 1080p movie smoothly? (not a gamer myself)

2. Where can I see this machine in person?


Thanks.
