    well well, Just got home, took it out of box, so far, everythings great, no problems.

    First impression, Impressed, Yes even more so than I thought I would be.

    Keyboard, A little noisy, but i dont mind, i like to know a key has been pressed. nothing i would even think anyone would dislike.

    Mouse Area, Small, i like it though, i dont need an area taking up my whole palm rest.

    Right Click, Yup its there, glad I didnt get an Apple, don't want to be handicapped, ya know.

    Heat, I feel it some on my lap, been sittin with it for about 10 minutes now, no burning sensation yet, guess I'll give it a few more hours. My wifes got a DELL Inspirion 1405, and she says it never burns her lap, well it's burnned mine, so maybe the whole lap burning is me, perhaps i shouldn't ... nm.

    Also, there is some noticible warmth coming from the right side of the palm rest, nothing I'd worry about at this point though.. The heat seems to be coming from about CTRL key.

    There is some more noticible heat coming from the bottem of the reight front.

    I would add pics, but I think you guys are probably bored with them already.

    Any questions? feel free to ask. Ima run some tests now.

    Congratulations on receiving your new beast Steven.
    yours is the same spec. i will be ordering very soon except for the turbo memory as i think its a waste of time when using 4gb ram.
    looking forward to viewing your 3D scores and temps.

    you should have included the laptop's make/model in the thread title so people who don't know you know what laptop you're talking about :D

    congrats!

    The warmth coming form the right side of the palm rest is probably just the HHD is. That's where it is on my 5791. It's like the only part of the lappy that gets more than moderately warm.

    Dells have historically had some cooling issues.

    Ah, so that dastardly CTRL key is the source of the heat on the right side of the palm rest! Is there any way to turn it off? I'll just use the one on the left side...

    congrats on the new rig. :)

    make sure to not use it on your lap, which can block the vents... I am sure you know that already, but I like to be adamant about notebook cooling. ;)

    Congrats!

    "Right Click, Yup its there, glad I didnt get an Apple, don't want to be handicapped, ya know"

    Yes! What is it with the MAC hatred of the second mouse button?!?
    I'd love to see a MAC touch the 901C or M570TU...

    But again, good luck with your new rig. Try any games yet?
