    Hi guys

    Just to let you know that I received my first laptop last Friday

    First impressions:

    The quality of this laptop feels very solid. The screen is very bright and beautiful. resolution is just perfect

    Looks are very nice. I LOVE simple looks that this laptop has - it is kinda sophisticated looking - smooth and clean.

    It gets quite warm, but then I do not know how worm is normal because it is my first laptop - how do I check temp on this thing anyway? It is NOT hot and feels comfortable

    Downloaded oblivion and played it inside the caves - it was OK, but got outside and it it started lagging - so I unistalled this one - did not really like it that much anyway.

    Did not try any other games yet, so will post comments later. I am not big fan of FPS, so I know that these are pretty demanding games, so i will not be able to post any comments for FEAR, BF and such.

    Also did not try the wireless yet because I do not have the internet yet

    Laptop is very quite. I can not even tell when fans kick in - maybe they never did so far, so not sure

    Anyway - that is very nice laptop and I am verry happy with it

    Will post some more comments and possibly review later one once I get too comfortable with it

    Turn the grass distance down in Oblivion... it really helps FPS outdoors.

    I already uninstalled this game, was notr eally thrilled with it that much

    So for any future poeple looking to buy this laptop disregard my posy about Oblivion experience as I think I tired to play it with almost everything turned up. So it was unfair for the laptop.

    I played other game on it - adventure game - and it played beautiful
