    I remember a member here made a post about ways to tweak the Tz to save battery life. But i've been searching for like the last 20 minutes and can't find anything of that sort.

    does anyone have a direct link or remember the member that posted that thread?

    Its a 32gb solid state hard drive, much different from regular hard drives and has integrated GMA 950 graphics, don't expect to game on these babies.

    It makes me sad so many ask me what graphics these have and when I say ultraportables can't play games, they regard them as utterly useless, meh.

    How do the discs from P1 work, do they automatically downgrade to XP with all the drivers and no bloatware, a perfect clean install of XP? If so, they are a gem to TZ owners!


    Enjoy your purchase!

    Out of the 32gb of disk space, i had remaining alil over 22gb after my own installation of norton and Microsoft Office Ultimate.

    P1 had already downgraded the Tz to xp pro, but i beleive u just stick in the xp disk and it auto downgrade for yall. P1 included a vista and xp disk for me incase i had to format or upgrade to vista if i want.

    Yea, that basterrd kept saying soo many things but eventually i had to come to the reality that after 2+ months, i have not receive 1 tracking number or any sort of evidence that it was on its way other then him just saying so. Took back my money and went straight to portable One. I still got all the emails back and forth from him and wanted to post them all up to let others know wht kind of business he runs and wanted to report him to ebay consorts. but im like, eh im too lazy.
