    I saw it in store, it did seem rather nice, and some very cool interfaces on the casing :D (atleast i think it was this model)

    Very clear high res screen also.

    Yes it does, but not so much to disable it but to keep the gpu run at max clock speed, now my 8930 has no more lag in games, loving it now

    You are right and wrong, turning powermizer off does not stop the throttling but setting the value of the powermizer to run its gpu at max clock speed all the time does stop the throttling and game lag as it can never underclock even if it wants to, i should no, ive done it and my fps never drop, to solve the heat i had to undervolt and sit the laptop on the best of the best cryo lx, now everything is great.

    Do a clean install of a os and you will get the overheatin problems and even reverting back to your old os on the hidden partion will not sort it out you will have the overheatng problems forever, why i dont know but there must be a reason hey
