    It's nice to let someone do a "review", but it shouldn't be done by someone who sells them. That's more of a presentation than a review, but it's better than nothing... In regards to something I noticed, if you're going to say that's a stock V6va, you'll want to change the hard drive speed - The fujitsu drive in the V6va is a 4200rpm / 100gb drive. Even though Fujitsu doesn't list the drives speed on the drive itself, if you search using the drives model number, you will notice it's a 4,200rpm drive. However, if you're changing out the drive, then you'd obviously have reconsider listing the system with Asus' 2 year gobal warranty. I'll understand if it is a typo, but I wanted to point that out. Also, double check your 3d mark numbers, or try them again using both stock drivers and omega drivers...... My stock drivers are getting higher than what you came up with and the omega drivers are obviously going to do much better.

    But just to help you out, the drive is an MHV2100AT... which you can check on the specs here: http://www.fcpa.fujitsu.com/products/hard-drives/mhv2120at/specifications.html

    *On a side note, about heat.... most of the heat on the V6 and W3 was actually traveling through the aluminum surround on the right click button. On the new V6va, there is a thermal tape that is spread on half of the hard drive bay (this half is directly under the touchpad...

    I don't see anything wrong with the way they handled it.

    I would rather call that a preview than a real review though ;)

    More pictures of the unit itself!
