    "2mp webcam,bluetooth,wireless n,biometric (all optional)"

    What do you mean by biometric? When i see that, i assume finger print scanner, but i didnt see any.

    Also, did you take those pictures? Cause the reflection in one of them makes you look like a shirt-less 10 year old boy... no offense or anything.

    Oh, and kudos on the choice of yellow... I'm torn between it and the blue or black option.(i like the blue and yellow, but all my personal electronics are black/silver, so it would kinda look better in their company.)

    Can you post some more pictures so that we can see more of the screen rather than just the start up pic please? Take some screenshots of games, want to see the 8600M GT in action!

    Man, you've got a mirror for screen. :)
    By enhancing a little bit the gamma of the picture I could see the posters on your wall.

    Do you experience any kind of problem with reflections while using the laptop with that window in front of it?
    I'm so glad I've opted for a matte screen :)

    i'll probably load a game or two and update the pics when i get home. didnt have enough time to play around with it last night. the reflection is not that bad. those pictures i took in the afternoon so probably the sunlight gave it more of a mirror like reflection. at least it didnt show my nipples.

    i'm at work now. though kind of wierd that i posted a screenshot of the screen on another forum even though the screen is 17 inch. when taken a screenshot of it it came out really big like from a 28 or 30inch monitor.

    Now see, in those pics the silver keyboard looks good. At the store, with a thousand fluorescent lights beaming down on it, I thought it looked too shiny. But in a regularly lit room, I don't think it will bother me like I thought it would before.
