    Okay I am going to buying a P151HM1 within the next week, and before I do I have a few questions.

    1) First of all what are some must have upgrades to the base configuration from Malibal?
    I plan on upgrading to the i7-2630QM
    But I also wanna upgrade the network card, and I was thinking about the
    Bigfoot Networks Killer Wireless-N 1102 802.11A/B/G/N LAN Card

    Other than that is there anything else I MUST upgrade to be able to play games better?

    2) How well will I be able to run games? And how is the cooling?


    3) If you have one how do you like yours? Would you have bought it again if you had a choice?

    Thanks for looking all help is appreciated.

    mm f you want to play games at 1080 will recomend go for the P150 with gtx 485 or 6970m, 6990m, i have the gtx560m will run bf3 medium at 1600x1050 50fps, so dont expect much of it

    oh yeah if thats the case go for it, the only upgrade i will recomend its the wireless and the screen, go for 95% matte or glossy, i have glossy and it worth the price for the upgrade !!

    pd cooling its fine but i use notepal u3 give you like 2c less
