    Is anyone's backlighting not quite uniform? It seems like my central zone keys and space bar aren't as bright as some of the other keys. Is this by design?
    :cool:

    The space bar on all the M17x including the one i had all had a very uneven/dim space bar.. So what your seeing is nothing unusual... I think the light has a hard time filling up all that space ..

    Sorry I always forget to add: M17x. OK, maybe the lights are fine then! Thanks Quad.

    Mine is damn quite and cold like ice when I do the typing or surfing on Power Saver mode in Hybrid SLI. The fans will start to make noise (noise of wind so it's no big deal) when I chage to Performance mode and start gaming.
    M17x cooler is amazing! When it's idle t's just a little louder but a lot cooler than my MBP (which I believe is one of the best lappy out there at least in term of quite and cool)
