    Great review, but the "extreme" heat is a bit of an exageration.

    I think that review was a little iffy and maybe partly biased or one-sided. They have a lot of glaring problems that need editing, like how a lot of the pages have copy/paste text that address other notebooks besides the w7j and that most of the graphcs are line graphs that aren't even graphing anything over time; they should definitely be bar graphs instead.

    Can't be, they specifically say in the Battery page that it's using the standard 6-cell and that a 9-cell is available. If they were using the 9-cell then the battery life they got is horrible.

    Anyone with a W7J have a calibrated and accurate scale?

    According to the review, webcam software (LifeFrame) came bundled with the W7J. I don't see it in any of the disks that came with my W7J nor is it installed with the OS.
