    Figured this would be a good idea since there is going to be so many people with their new Clevo M860TU/Sager NP8660 laptops.

    All new owners, please post with the following information (or as much as possible):

    3Dmark06 score (1280x1024):
    CPU temperatures during idle vs. load:
    GPU temperatures during idle vs. load:
    HDD temperatures during idle vs. load:
    Uncomfortable heat to the right of the touchpad (yes/no)? :
    Noise during load/gaming (describe):
    Noise during idle (describe):
    Noise under silent mode (describe):
    Dead pixel count:
    Other thoughts (configuration of laptop):

    Best way to report temps would be to post a screenshot of HWmonitor (found below)
    You can find 3Dmark06 here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/3DMark06_d4935.html
    Temperature monitoring (HW monitor): http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

    Pics/videos would be great!

    Please keep discussions to a minimum in here. Discussions can go in the owner's lounge http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=286151

    There is so many of them. I guess you can't blame everyone for wanting to shout from the rooftops, particularly after such a long wait. But at the same time it's really hard to keep a count of all the threads here and it's getting quite monotonous.

    Ahh, to heyal with it. Let's just have one giant, super thread.
