    Well, it is good that you're contributing to the forum, but I don't think its appropriate to regurgitate information that's clearly posted smack dab on the home page of the website. If you prefer discussing the first look, instead of creating a new thread, just use the thread already created for the review.

    WOW! Big difference in just the 3dmarks from 1520.

    Looks that way. I doubt the faster CPU(either 2.2 or 2.4... in some parts he says 2.2, in other parts he claims its a T7700[which is 2.4])alone would account for the ~33% jump in 3dmark.

    Yea, I would like to seen benchmark with like components. If they are in fact running the T7700 in the m1530 then it isn't quite a fair comparison.

    What are the dimensions of the touchpad? Just the touch area, not including the buttons. In metric, if possible.

    Thanks

    I liked the review very much. I hope that the next installment covers the keyboard layout, quality, flex and such.

    I too would love to see a review. Personally I am going to wait until they come out with a better screen resolution in the new year though.
