    Okay so I got my m14x in my hands last night and promptly went to bed downloading games to check out. I figure we should have a thread to list the games we are going to try out with our m14x and how they performed and what level we ran them on. So for me to start, I will be checking out:

    Starcraft 2
    Darkspore
    Gears of War
    The Witcher
    Gray Matter

    I will advise just as soon as I have started checking them out. Any advice or suggestions or other info you want to see, post it.

    Could you please make a review of M14x Display at first?
    - what are the viewing angles?
    - how is it good outside? (under the sun)
    - is it bright enough?
    - is it glaring too much?
    - what about contrast?

    And other external features:
    - quality of hinges;
    - what effect on display produces pressure on the lid;
    - what is the size and weight of power adapter;

    Temperature: There was a review that stated that the notebook is hot, especially near palmrest.

    As we all know the specification of all the stuff inside, I would be really thankful for answers on external features.

    Thanks!
