    So just want to know whos running the top spec and how there getting along with anything since ownership.

    Does any one use the facial recognition or Nuance Dragon Assist?

    Whos running Windows 7?

    What dont you like about it, ive read something recently about the bits on the power charger could get annoying. This is my upgrade from the Dell 1640 so cant wait.

    Thanks Guys

    the owners lounge has a ton of people with it. I have one. I really like it.

    SD card not fitting flush is annoying

    Battery life isn't amazing. I am getting 5 1/2 - 6 depending on use


    Screen is great, keyboard is fine, touchpad is fine once you update the drivers and play with the settings

    Many have the coil whine, which if you do is a bummerI really like using it for playing BF4 and video editing work (the main reasons I bought it over thinner and lighter options)
