    This laptop is insane. I opened up ME at 720p (high settings) and started playing like it was nothing. Then about an hour later realized that the entire time I was on IGP, not using my 6970M :eek:

    Just thought I'd share this with you guys, seeing as my old notebook (Thinkpad T500) couldn't play ME at 720p with the low settings using its high powered GPU lol....

    PS. I'm willing to give this notebook a review if anyone wants me to, I just thought it would be useless though as many have already given their thoughts, and I'd just be repetitive.

    Yeah, they're pretty powerful chips ;)
    Do a review if you want or post in the owner's lounge .
    it's always nice to hear the real experience of actual users/owners that experience the system on a daily basis.

    Cheers
