    Looks like a great computer though its not possible to see one in person so i have questions. How is the vertical angle on it, is there light leakage from the bottom ie: bottom bar when viewing dvd's. How is the fan noise, is it loud? does it constantly step on and off annoyingly ie. sony s series. Thanks hope my questions can be answered with positive results.

    for teh screen thing this is an example of what im not looking for

    The leakage is very minimal, its about 0.75 milimeters or a quater of an inch. Check the z81sp review, and to the picture with both playing movies.

    The fan will be loud IF you are under heavy usage(like all laptops), but it's not really bad.

    I manually configure my fans, so I don't have any frequent auto on/offs

    cool thanks coriolis i found it, but does the leakage extend toward the top of the screen, leaving a gradient of light or does it completely stop at .75 mm and does not bleed the rest of the screen.
