About the keyboard, I tested it for a while and the Keyboard itself have no problems, in fact it feels very nice and responsive for people that write very fast.

The real problem comes when you want to use the numeric side or want to look at it on low light conditions, then is a big pain in the rear... believe me if you guys use your machine on situations different than the office you might want to get an additional keyboard =p or if you only use it on good light just get a side numeric pad and you are ready to go ^^

I haven't been able to find a software that can record on 120 fps, a friend told me I should use an "actual camera" that record at 120FPS to be able to show people the difference on the panel frequency.

Anyways I shall probably make a video while running "Deus EX: HR" or "The Witcher 2" ^^

Looks really interesting..

I would love to see the 120Hz screen in action myself!

You can only show 120Hz on a 120Hz screen...otherwise it`s like filming HD and showing it in SD.
What you could do is load one of these websites that have black lines in the background. On 60hz they flicker a lot on 120Hz they are stable.

Have an example website? I don't know of any.

Also, I believe you can set FRAPS to record at 120fps. but then you'd have to encode it to quarter-speed (30fps) if you want to show the smoothness on youtube (you'd think that with 1080p support, they'd increase the framerate limit from 30...)

The witcher 2.. good idea cause I can't wait to try it out on my new MALIBAL as well

Tbh, everyone who uses that laptop as desktop replacement should have an external keyboard.. if possible a mechanical one (<3 my Majestouch Filco Tenkeyless with MX-Brown switches).

Tested that out, and I was right. so I made demo video here. Hope it's helpful

Wow man you finally did it!! I think your video truly shows the difference between the 60 and 120 ^^ even tho some people wont be able to notice during gameplay, some dudes with good eyes and gamers surely will appreciate the advantages of the 120hz panel.

I uploaded it on the main post for others to see ^^
