    Finally!

    I will do a review later this evening. Thankfully - no dead pixels! And - thus far HD idles at 53 degrees celcius - not bad without any software mods yet.

    I just installed vista ultimate 64 :)

    Here are some pictures including temps and 3dmark06.

    UPDATE:

    Ok - this laptop is amazing save for a few issues that maybe some other people can relate to..

    1) Under vista ultimate 64 whenever it goes to sleep the OS crashes.

    2) The cdrom opening button is located way to close to where I would naturally grab the laptop to hold - making me hit that button almost every time.

    3) The power button seems a little quirky.

    I think that's about it...other than the right palm area getting warmer than the left (the usual).

    I was playing crisis for about an hour last night and that's a screenshot of HWmonitor right after playing.

    Knock on wood!...I'm thinking dead pixels can show up later down the road, like weeks after you get ur laptop from the factory.

    Someone can correct me if i'm wrong!

    Congrats on the purchase......

    i thought that dead pixels only or are most prone to happening during production, shipping or when you damage it physically some way

    i may be wrong but thats what ive heard.
