Any U6S owners?

I am interested in this notebook but have some questions?

1. How is heat on this laptop? Especially the palm rests.
2. Is fan noise very loud?
3. What is battery life with the 6 cell battery?
4. What about the styling? It looks a little odd to have dark leather palmrests
and then have the main frame a light silver color. Does it look good together
or odd?
5. Does it have a firewire port? I have read mixed specifications. Some say yes
others say no.

Thanks for any info.

I've had the U6S for a week or two now. The laptop doesn't heat much at all from my experince (however, I don't use it on my bed on top of a comforter which will likely make any laptop heat up quickly).
The fan is more quiet than most small laptops
No clue about the battery life with the 6-cell since I think I currently have the 3-cell (I think, it's only 2400mAh) and that only gives me about an hr of life which is lame for laptops. I think the largest battery I've heard of is the 7800mAh and might get somewhere around 3 hrs (I assume).
I think this is actually a really sexy laptop. The back of the screen is a dark chocolate color. It actually flows pretty nice with the silver.
My U6S-X1 doesn't have a firewire port, I think a different model of the U6S just might have one. However, you can always get an firewire express card to put inside the slot if you absolutely need one.

I'm actually selling it but am happy to answer any questions about the laptop since there is hardly anything online about it.

 

There is a review up, and the 9-cell batt does 4hrs, right?

 

Yup, I just found it too. Makes me feel better about my purchase. Lol
