    Great news everyone!

    My Malibal has arrived, I will be un-boxing, taking some pics and setting it up, benchmarking/testing it all out and will post here my review.

    SO EXCITE!


    Alright so far;
    Good packing job, no dead pixels everything seems in order.
    Ran a quick 3dmark06 benchmark and got the following score: 14611 3DMarks (using driver 268.49 will update and run again) A little low, temps seemed OK, CPU MAX 65d, GPU MAX 63d.

    I decided to write a review at this stage would take to long, and I am just enjoying playing on this too much. S

    Sorry! I will write a review when the initial shock of having a new awesome laptop wears off.

    Quick Questions

    How do I remove the "personal safe" thing from my desktop?
    -> Resolved: Just Un-Install the software

    The "THX" activate thing, what is that? Do I need it? Should I activate?
    -> Resolved: Yes, gives some advanced audio options

    The "WebCam Installer" I ran that but it didn't install anything it just launched my webcam...interestingly I can't seem to find any other way of launching the webcam... suggestions?
    -> Resolved: Found the BisonCAM Folder in C:Drive and made a shortcut there.

    1. Yes activate your THX settings (you need to be on the internet to do so). This will give you increased audio functionality with your soundcard (enables mixing of audio, increasing bass, etc.)

    2. You can launch your webcam directly by going into the Bison folder under Program Files

    This is who I set mine up to use the webcam. It also allows a quick tool to record video and take pictures

    I right clicked on the .exe and said "send to desktop, create shortcut". My other apps like Skype auto use this hardware, so it's not too big of a deal but still helpful I suppose

    3. Personal Safe i found annoying and can be deleted by uninstalling the fingerprint software under control panel.

    You can use Windows 7 built in fingerprint reader. Once you uninstall that software you can search for it by searching for "enroll your fingerprints"

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Also to kind of piggy back off of SSX, you can remove the Personal Safe icon by setting up the fingerprint reader (enroll two finger...click the x to exit out); clicking on the Personal Safe; setup a password; then uncheck the box for the desktop icon(all on the same screen; cannot uncheck the box until you set up a password). You can also remove the icon in the Computer section as well by doing the same thing.

    Garand where are you? Take some pictures and post it up I'm jealous waiting for mine. I didn't get an email or call today so it's not shipping out today but hopefully I'll hear something tomorrow. Show me yours to tide me over!

    Ahhh!
    Sorry I want to do a good review, but got home from work last night and jumped right into some BF3 and SWTOR games....then got distracted and forgot to do this hahaha..

    So far everything is running perfectly, no stuttering, great FPS, low heat.

    I will try to actually take some pics and finish up my review tonight before I game anymore.


    Biggest thing to get used too, is the 1920x1080 resolution... coming from 1680x1050 its a big difference everything is small :)
    However, I am not sure how my screen could be any better, and I just got the standard MATTE screen, no special gamut level at all and all the colors are crisp, clear, vibrant, the screen is amazing

    Wow that's a pretty long wait... ?

    I ordered mine on 1/3 and a MALIBAL Agent told me they are hoping to ship mine out this Friday.
