    So...i'm expecting a m17x r2 to come in the mail soon, and I thought it would be a good idea to learn a bit about the world of notebooks during my wait.
    Could the kind people of notebookreview point me in the right direction for things such as...

    1. Basic things to beware
    2. Known possible issues w/ default r2 models
    3. an overclocking guide, for an i7 740QM.
    4. Useful stickies.

    I'm not sure of the exact specs, but this is the image I saw saying what I won.
