    Hi Guys~ So ive cancelled my m14x order
    and decided to get the base model for m17x (Yeah!!)

    i7 2760QM
    8GB Ram
    2GB AMD 6990m DDR5
    1.5TB HDD
    -------------------------
    And Pay a bit extra for 3 years fully protected warrenty

    Hmm... But the problem now is that
    i would really wish to know if the front grills on m17x does either suck in or out the air? or they dont do anything at all just like the m14x?
    It would be so darn awsome if they can suck air in to keep this beast cool down

    Well
    Second, im getting this beast on 19th or 21st
    therefore if there's any tips or information for me, so i wont break it or destroy it on the first day would be gr8.... thx guys

    Oh im getting the red one as well :)

    The front grills are for the speakers, the air is sucked in from the underside of the laptop and expelled from the rear, nothing to do with the front.
