M17X R3 First Impression Dr. J

Don't think so but we'll see, I believe there's something else implemented, quickset if I remember correctly for the key mappings(things like FN+XXX).

 

Reading this post made me think of this: Map Any Key to Any Key on Windows 7 / XP / Vista - How-To Geek

NOt sure if it's relevant though. tee hee

 

With an SSD using port 0 and DVD using port 1 to avoid the 5% risk of degredation of ports 2-5 over three years (yes I am being sarcastic), wonder how this would work if wanted a DATA HD in the future:

How do those transfer rates compare to the SataII 3gb ports 2-5 in real world terms?

 

No issue with gpu over clock attempt but not with the CPU/mb via bios.

Enabled over clock options to sniff around and only thing comfortable was not changeable, extending turbo time?

Anyone been playing with these settings yet?

Where else can I read about attempts and experiences? Tried google already, FYI.

Just got my order canceled due to sandy bridge issue X(
My main consern about this laptop is the quality, does it feal solid.Is it similar to the original m17x?How does it compare to hoter laptop you owned?
Thanks in advance!

 

Yes and no. Perhaps it's just my unit but the chasis feels solid when you hold it in your lap but the lid is flimsy when you open it, its plastic wobbles and, unsurprisingly, bends. Actually, one of the reasons why I will be returning it is that while the plastic of the "edge to edge" "glass" touches the keyboard and picks up some harmless residue from the keys, I actually already developed a tiny scratch on the "glass" when it touched the left arrow key's corner. So to those of you who are still contemplating getting a "towel" to lay on the keys to protect the screen, may I recommend biting the bullet and get it. I wish I did. Although it is tiny and, unless you know where it is and look for it, you might not even notice it, I know it and it drives me up the wall.

 

Are there no feet surrounding the edges of the laptop to prevent the scratching?

 

You would think so, right? QC has really gone down with all these manufacturers... $2k and no rubber feet? Sheesh.

 

There are two rubber "rails" running the length of the sides of the screen serving as bumps but either they are not thick enough or the screen flexes much more than they can help

 

There are on my 1.3K m11x r2...
