    Just got the laptop on thursday so I've had a few days to play around with it.

    I am extremely impressed with the screen. I've obviously heard great things about the LED screen, but this screen is more than enough bright for me. I was also a bit worried that the resolution wouldn't be very good but I have more than enough space on the screen. Minor issues came up such as screen flickering/flashing when changing schemes but that was resolved when I updated my power manager driver.

    I love how Thinkvantage allows me to change numerous settings that allowed for longer battery life. Changing the X4500's settings also allowed for a decrease in wattage and increased battery life, but the display becomes slightly less sharp, so I don't really recommend it. The amount of bloatware is very much kept to a minimum as I only had 23 processes running when I started XP for the first time.

    As for keyboard flex, I'm a very light typer so i don't notice it at all.

    Is it really that hard to believe? I definitely do NOT have a LED screen. I'd post a picture but I dont have a camera at the moment.
