    Hi,
    I will be making a comprehensive review of the NP8150 a few days after I receive it to thank everyone for the help I have gotten over this past month+

    The configuration is in my sig.

    I have no knowledge of any benchmark stuff. I will be giving some FPS from both Rift and SC2 though. I will probably do pictures and all that stuff too.

    If anyone has any requests that will be free or anything in particular they would like to know, let me know and I will include it in the review.

    I'm definetly interested in knowing how it performs on StarCraft 2. Currently it's the only game I really play but I have to run 1280x800 on the lowest settings while using my cooling pad to maintain 30-40fps.

    I've been looking into the NP8150 but the cost has pulled me back from upgrading. If I played more games (and didn't own an Xbox) I'd definetly buy. I want to future proof myself so it can last as long as possible. Also, it'd be nice to know if the 6970M is removable like the 485M.

    How do you know the type of RAM your configuration will include? Was the G.Skill memory modules a special request? or something you are doing on your own?

    Thanks


    Oh - Lots of pics of the screen please!

    Oh, another question I have is the Glossy Screen and the $30 more Matte Type screen for the S1. What is the difference in quality and viewing? Is the glossy problematiqe?

    Edit:
    And the wireless networking card... I would go with the stock. Don't mind that the advanced is included with the S1, but what is the difference between the Stock, Advanced, and Ultimate Intel cards? (other than the 5GHz A band)

    Ordered without RAM.

    I bought a 2x4GB package from NewEgg and will install myself.

    if anyone wants I'll be recieving my notebook (hopefully) in the next 30 minutes, that is if UPS keeps there word...

    I'll probably play Borderlands and SC2, and if anyone wants I'll post some average frame rates for those.
