    Congratulations. I got mine about a week ago and I love it.

    However HL2 doesn't work correctly with it, the sound stutters really bad, and while the framerates are good, it makes the game unenjoyable. I tried updating drivers/reformatting/reinstalling but nothing has worked so far. If you have better luck let me know! I would hate to know that it's due to a defecting computer.

    On the other hand i'm playing the BF2 demo at max settings and it's running totally smooth so i'm thinking that it's probably just a bug with the game and our specific hardware/drivers.

    If you have HL2 would you mind letting me know how it's running?

    Thanks and have fun :)

    Wow the build quality on those look so good...
    So what do you think? Any complaints so far? Or are you gonna just keep us waiting until you write your review?

    That's with the matte screen right?

    Any dead pixels?

    How about some pics showing the thickness?

    How is the keyboard? Do you have to press hard for it to type? Because on some laptops after like 5 minutes of typing, my fingers really hurt? Is it good on thise laptop, or medium pressure, or hard? Btw, THE PICTURES WANT ME TO GET IT EVEN MORE! THANKS!

    P.S. If you can get more, that would be great, if not, thanks anyways.

    My computers build date was the 17th. It arrived on the 10th. I think hp overestimates their shipping by a lot.

    The keyboard is excellent. Hands don't get tired while typing at all.

    A few more pictures:

    Your comp looks pretty sweet. What sucks though for me is that I can't install some kick ass game on my lappy once I get it.... I wish I had a kick ass game... :(
