    Morning guys, she's beautiful. I would never descride her as a "Laptop", deffinately a desktop replacement.

    I have some pictures of the "unboxing" but, as yet i got opera running last night, still to set-up all of the other programs i use...

    At the moment i only have Vista, Opera, Avira, A-Squared & Ad-Aware 2008 installed... Still to install Office and then all of my personal stuff.

    I was playing with the new functions and getting the Creative sound software set-up. I nowq have 5.1 surround sound (",) and my Razer lachesis is amazing with the large screen, only have to move it a little to go across the screen...

    I can post the pictures i have if you want but, i was going to do a review and add them then...

    OB

    It does, i've got a lot of work to do before it's fully "ready", graphics drivers, defraging, copying the 130Gb iTunes music across...

    There's not enough hours in the day lol

    I'll get there though, she's a great machine though and, doesn't get hot... although i haven't played any games yet so time will tell i guess...
