    I just ordered this baby from powernotebooks.com Thanks for the great support to all the people over there, very pleased :)

    Question is, what should I do once I get the laptop? If you have any guides it'd be useful. I'm not saying like how to install the OS and all of that, but things like drivers (which are the best for each part of the laptop), utilities you guys consider necessary, etc.

    I can't wait for it to get here :D

    The drivers CD has them in order, from top to bottom. You don't need to install all of them if you don't want to.

    My PowerPro (HEL80) order is being worked on as we speak. :D I'm very anxious to receive mine as well! I absolutely agree powernotebooks.com is an excellent vendor that provides exceptional service and support. I haven't even received my laptop yet and I can still easily recommend them given my interations with Donald Stratton and how my order and variety of requests have been and are being handled!

    Donald and all of the people whom I have talked to over there have left me with an extremely good impression of the site.

    Are the drivers on the CD up to date or slightly old? Should I look for drivers from each manufacturer's website or are the ones on the CD the latest?

    The drivers are all fine. Of course there are always newer ones out there so upgrade at your own risk.

    In general, if it ain't broke...

    All right, just wanted to make sure the drivers on the CD were good enough.
