    I'll post some pictures when I get home tonight... currently at work. But here's what I have so far:

    Out of the box (only programs I installed was 3dmark6 and hwmonitor)
    - 9434 on 3dmark6
    - 53C HDD temp (reading was right after I ran the benchmark)

    I got a Toshiba hard drive (200 GB 7200 RPM). Btw, I ordered my notebook from XoticPC.

    any dead pixels? It seems to be quite an issue...

    perhaps we should have all of the threads like this fused into one.

    The official M860Tu owner`s lounge seems appropriate...

    Or, they could use the M860TU Owner's Lounge ;) EDIT: yeah, like eleron said. Maybe not having NP8660 included in the thread's title is throwing people off.

    Anyway, congrats on finally receiving your laptop. It's a great piece of technology.

    No dead pixels... bought the warranty that came with the policy.

    Also, I'll start posting to the owner's lounge.

    nice, congrats on the new beast. :)

    make sure you take care of it, if you want it to take care of you:
    - monitor the temps (especially the GPU)
    - regular cleaning of the vents and fans (for both the notebook and power brick)
    - use only on clean, hard, flat surfaces.... preferably a good notebook cooler
