    BENQ S73 ,

    You can find a pretty decent review somewhere by googling it , I know its not helping much but I don't remeber where I saw it .

    The review is by someone who had the 7000 and the S72 so he knows what he is talking about , might wanna try "joybook 7000 S72 S73 comparision" or something like that .

    Try again couple of days later.
    I know exactly what you mean. I faced the same problem and 3-4 days later I can log in with no problem.
    I believe iTwins - the reviewer is also a member of this forum.

    I believe it can get pretty hot when playing games. I was on a pc convention and they had a s73 on display and i touch it, it was quite warm and it didnt have any processes goin on all day.

    You must be talking about me... :)

    And yes, it's very warm even when not doing much...the price of having an ATi X1600 around...

    I felt more comfortable knowing other brands that have an X1600 were very warm as well!

    a bit off topic i guess but does underclocking the x1600 help with the warmness at all?

    I haven't tried it and I have no plans to.

    Like I mentioned at the Kaitech.hk forum, you need not worry too much about the heat. The heat is not an issue if the system doesn't hang/crash/reboot unexpectedly. So far that has yet to happen even when I stressed the system to the maximum. i.e. running 3 VMware Workstation v5.5 virtual machines simultaneously to stress the Core Duo processor (1. Windows 2003 Enterprise Domain Controller, 2. Windows 2000 Advanced Server file server, and 3. Windows XP SP2) while running Titan Quest .
