    I have had mine for about a month and it is awesome. I can play Modern Warfare 4 at highest settings with no lag or skipping. I tried a test this morning playing Crysis. I was on the internet, downloading a game, had my power settings set to normal, and it played the game perfectly. The only thing I do not like is it only has one speaker. Not sure why they would do this, but you kind of forget about it after awhile. You are not wasting your money here.

    It also said Modern Warfare at medium settings........but I play it at full settings, so not sure what they are talking about. I also use the AMD Fusion Utility. I am not sure if it helps, but it has alot of extra power settings that I use often. Can't wait until someone figures out how to overclock this thing.

    I just got done playing a little dead space 2 and it was very enjoyable, runs very well. Also Wow plays good on low settings with fair viewing distance.

    I install a seagate momentus XT load times a very fast I love it.

    I'd appreciate some photos (thumbnails please) and a few benchmarks (CPU, graphics and HDD) and some insight on how loud or quiet is it, screen and battery, if you wouldn't mind.
    It’s a very interesting and reasonably priced notebook.

    I hope it's here today. got to my city this morning according to fedex.


    Ok I will post some photos. I was planning on doing just a user experience review but I will try to do benchmarks as well. I've never done cpu, graphics, and hdd benchmarks though, any simple ways how?

    Just basic benchmarks will do 3DMark06, HDTune, PCMark, SiS Sandra for CPU- or as many of those as you can if you're too busy to run them all.
    Just curiosity- I like this notebook and I hope it's reasonably fast.
