John. JOHN. Are you there, John?

Would you please do this for me:

@johnnbots - Would you please find the details on who manufactured the screen? You can download HWiNFO64, then expand the Monitor page.

I was surprised it was matte. I mean no offense to Razer but for this kind of consumer laptop I was really expecting glossy lol.

Btw, I think the fan that blows is the most is probably the CPU, as the CPU runs hotter than the GPU typically, and since it seems to be running most of the time, that almost proves it. With optimus, the NVIDIA GPU switches off so it wouldnt make sense for it to be running. I like the dual fans though, Im surprised its not dead silent.

Last question, does it have a subwoofer?

Thanks for all of your impressions and review so far John. I'm glad that you weren't put off by the haters in the other thread... you've become a very popular guy now

Looking forward to hearing more of your impressions on the Blade as you use it more. It seems the Switchblade has become a much cooler feature than I had imagined.

left blade at church to download games and stuff while I got a Giddeons dinner. Can't do any research at the moment.

most serious gamers prefer matte actually. glossy can give seemingly higher contrast ratios and better viewing angles. Viewing angles are just fine by the way.

[Quadzilla]

Yeah ill take matte any day of the week over glossy.

Great work John and i have certainly enjoyed learning more about the Blade from a real owner.

I watched the IGN unboxing video and that thing really is slick .

John, I'm curious. How did you get the timing to buy the Blade? I check Razer often and I don't see it available.

You have to sign up for their notify thing, on the product page. They emailed everyone a few hours before it was available, and then it was gone in 30 minutes. Next batch in February sometime.

Wow! 30 minutes? Talk about great timing. Even if I did get a notification, I don't think I'll catch that one.
