The Heat is okay, the older 15W25/26+ (Compal FL90/92) reached an higher temp.
The keyboard is much better, but keep in mind it's my personal choice.
The Touch sensitive Buttons are placed in the middle above the keyboard, and are working perfectly.

What's the case made out of?

 

I would like to know as well as if its magnesium it would be a major factor in purchasing this model. How quiet is this model and how are the temps. Whats the battery life looking like? Thanks.

 

Nice Graphics!

BTO told me that battery life 9 Cell over 4 Hours should be...of course depending on the program that is running. 35 Watt with discrete Video running a complex game will be less durance. RePaRaQu can you please test it with normal use and maximum use?

 

the case is still made out of plastic. Review will be added soon.

 

But is it magnesium inside? You know, all the metal stuff that mobo is mounted on.

And please, could you do 3DMark06 test in 1280x800 or 1280x1024?

 

The review will be added soon like the guide lines from NBR request it to be done.

Cool. My question is will this rig be able to play Orange Box maxed out at 1680X1050 or come close? Thats the most intensive game I plan to play on my next laptop outside of maybe Fallout 3 when that is released.

 

Don't know so far untill my final test is completed and up to date, then it will be placed online.
Is the game OB in demo version, if so where to download?

Please feel free to ask the things you would like to see tested, keep in mind if possible the test will be completed and result will be with details.

 

the looks of this notebook are very nice, even as that you can make your own configuration on the website. Bud i like to know if it's possible to put a blu-ray player in it?

 

yep full support for blu-ray, check spec: High Audio/Video Performance with Blu-ray Playback

 

That's good news.

Nice silver title pal!

I don't understand your avatar though.

 

It's just for fun, to keep my real face hidden.

 

I thought it was like a face, so it is yours, cool.

 

looking forward to your review. You have any idea when it's ready?
