    Congrats. That is good to hear.


    I am still having the issue with the SPEC benchmark stopping mid test... Anyone know how to resolve this?

    Does anyone want to comment on the brightness of the WUXGA screen?

    My W500 arrived on 31 dec, manufactured 20 nov or something and it doesn't have almost any flex. And I had my half year old T61 next to W500 and the supposedly stronger T61 keyboard had 10 times more flex around left side.
    Also, in general, all plastic parts seem to fit better than in T61. However the plastic feels and looks cheaper, the color is a bit more grey than before.

    The screen is a little dimmer but I wouldn't trust someones opinion over this matter. I see no difference coming from WSXGA+ in T61

    I'm going to try the 3650 drivers out tonight on the W500. Anyone else done this yet?

    I'm hoping to get a few more frames on COD4 especially.

    hahaha, that's what it's all about.

    It didn't work, no matter how many different ways I tried it. Ended up doing system restore. Back to normal finally.
