    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone will try to install the windows 7 RC operating system on their Samsung x360 and if they have, what are your initial impressions of this operating system? Thanks. :)

    been using RC1 on my system for a week now and overall its as quick as and stable as XP also battery life is a bit better giving me an roughly an extra 20 mins.

    I wanted to install X64 as i have 4gb of ram but the battery and display manager doesn't work and samsung is not planning to support x64 so had to use x86.

    Works great, though sometimes I get graphics glitches (not really major though).

    ichiban06, looks like your laptop has the intel mobile 4 series chipset. Same as mine, the r510 and others.

    Pop back to the thread i created about the 64 bit easy display manager for a theory i have about why vista x64 and win7 rc 64 crashes when you press fn + brightness / backlight.

    My laptop does not crash in vista x64 and win7 rc 64 with 2GB of ram when using EDM 64 bit. Details are in the thread.

    Hi, I sold my laptop a couple of weeks ago and got a Macbook Pro 15", the X360 is a great laptop but I needed more power and a bigger screen.

    Just want to note VT is enabled in the BIOS on the X360... Windows 2008 server with Hyper-V works just as fine.

    I tried as well but the hot keys will not work on any X64 system which really sucks, because then there is no way to change screen brightness and other options.

    I couldn't find that EDM x64 thread, can you link me?
