    Hey all, I got my lappy yesterday (as found in my other post) and figured I'd make a photo documentary of me setting it up, etc... Here we go...

    WOO the box arrives. It was rescheduled for the next day so it was kind of a surprise. There was a big dent in the box though that had me a bit worried (towards the right)

    Contents of the outer box... anyone notice how small the bubble wrap is? WTF is that supposed to protect? :p

    Hmmm... which one contains the laptop? It's a mini-lottery!

    All the included accessories... Why is there 3 G2P cards? Did they think I would forget who I bought it from?

    Pic of the bottom w/ the battery installed... What's that hiding there? It's another G2P card! I guess it's just in case the z70va wants to know where it came from... since it was adopted.

    First time booting up the system... At this point I almost regret not putting another $80 into it so I could use it out of box.... soooo impatient

    Desktop after I've loaded all the drivers and some software. Can anyone else figure out what the hell my background is? I still can't figure it out...

    Side view of the desktop, quality of camera isn't great but the screen sure is. It almost looks glossy in person, I can see a reflection off the side. It's PERFECT. I was worried about it being 'too' matted, but I have not 1 complaint (except maybe I'd like it a TOUCH brighter).

    Dual browsing. Not new to me since I have a 2005FPW, but it's still nice :) NBR and my portfolio ( http://www.jsupnick.com)

    My desktop setup as of late. My 2005FPW has much different colors than the z70va. I fixed it a little but it's still lighter.

    Again... my lappy setup

    Well, if you looked at all the pics... you have no life... But who am I to say that when I am the one who created this? Eh? Anyways hopefully this provides some entertainment to some people, if you didn't like it then you are probably just jealous because you don't have this laptop :)
