    Using it to write this thread. It's everything I hoped for and more. The screen real estate is amazing, and i've never had a widescreen before, TOO nice. It's beautiful, and I don't think it's even that big as far as weight and size goes (although I'm a decently sized guy). It's a real nice notebook.

    Now about all this stupid bloatware.... :mad:

    Time for a reformat.

    Lol, congrats on your purchase, I personally love my e1705, and its 7900gs is a beast for overclocking.
