    I just ordered a Lotus 151M from Malibal on Monday and now we play the dreaded waiting game! The most important specs are in my signature but I can't wait for it to get here, I hope my choice of matte screen was a good one.

    I guess this did come at a good time, I ordered it and it should arrive just after all these damn bio tests I have coming up. Nothing to distract me from studying :p

    Just thought I'd share, I'm bored :p

    Did you get the A+ grade panel warranty? I hope so you might need it.

    Nope, didn't get it.

    Edit: Almost all 'dead pixels' are actually stuck pixels which are usually easily fixed. I've been buying LCD components for many years and in that time I've encountered maybe 2 panels with 'stuck pixels' and none with a "dead" pixel.

    dude, dont hate ;) also, you cannot complain about a dead pixel as specified if you essentially agree to being OK with a dead pixel

    Oh I know, I've read through a few of gamerboi's posts and he seems to like to jump on malibal for some reason. Like I said dead pixels are extremely rare, especially in quality panels. It happens but most often is easily fixed.

    I'm def looking forward to getting it, refraining from buying and playing anything till it gets here. Also looks like it'll be here in time for skyrim! Which was nerve wracking for me as I didn't think I'd have the money in time for a new laptop.

    I work as a paramedic so gaming away from home on a moderate basis is important to me. Whenever there is no 911 calls coming in, I can play video games, sleep, watch TV, whatever :)

    good to know the paramedics are gaming :D I can picture an alarm going off and hear people shouting 'just me finish the round' :O

    ENJOY YOUR NEW LAPTOP and welcome to the crew :)

    LOL, in all seriousness I've been in the middle of gaming back when I was playing WoW and dropped group mid fight/mid instance/mid (PUG) raid to make a call. I don't play around like that :p

    On the other hand if you call me for something bull then I might just finish that fight *whistle*

    Okay, thanks for that. I was wondering because mine is being shipped out from NY, which seemed a little odd to me.
