    Wow is this thing huge but so far I love it. I got the thing home last night and the first thing I did was removed Norton Internet Security trial and installed Micro Trend PC-Cillin.

    Congratualtions!

    I'd be very interested to know you find the audio side of things. I want to get a machine for audio recording, and it's very important to me to get one which which has pretty good speakers on it, and which is not too noisy fan-wise. Hope you can shed some light!

    Actually the speakers are real good but I also have some Bose Companion 3's that I use. I have an old Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card that when I was using it I couldn't see my wireless network at all but when I use the internal sound card there is no problem. I used the card on my old Sager laptop without any problems. After testing the internal card the quality is just as good as the SB card so its no Biggie. I'm impressed with the sound but even more with the colors.

    I don't even notice it. Goto Comp Usa if you have one in your area and play with it. What got me was the sign sitting right next to the laptop that said 10% off on all computers from April 24 to April 28th.
