wow, sounds good clean n nice review. i bought the same, but have not got yet due to courier delay.

Where are you from buddy? Have you upgradd ram to 4gb?

How is the screen, keyboard, touchpad with anti palm, build?

I'm from Kerala, India.. Yes I upgraded to 4GB RAM. Screen is good, but can't compare it to other brands cos unless you get to watch it side by side you wont get a proper idea na...All I can say is, it's better than the display of Dell Inspiron 14R, my roommate has it and I've compared with it. Touchpad is responsive but the 'anti palm' doesn't live upto the hype. It works sometimes, it doesn't at times..Maybe it depends on the sweat on your palm or something, but compared to normal touchpads, it's good. Keyboard is nice and doesn't make any noise, on par with vaios. for typing and normal usage it's very good, for gaming...mmmm...not that good.

Nice!! Do take some temp readings too...

Installed CRYSIS Warhead today morning. Din get to play much, was busy but I did play for around two hours, the core temperatures went as high as 75 C on one core and the other was below 70 C.

The settings I used in CRYSIS were "Gamer" for all settings, AA 4x and Resolution 1280x768. Will try out AA 8x and 1366 x 768 and let you all know the result.

Just started downloading "Battlefield Bad Company 2".
Will write back next week with more details if interested.

thanks for info

I got the same laptop today morning...

I also upgraded RAM to 4GB. yeah, I also feel the touch pad is very good, very smoooth noise free keyboard and I also liked the two finger scrolling. I''ll use this as my default machine, so this is good multipurpose use.
