In case anyone was wondering on some framerates for some games just by looking at FRAPS while playing.
MW2 with native resolution (1600 x 900), No AA, No to all the special effects, Extra quality Textures and Map Resolutions set to Normal.
I get about 50 on some tree heavy multiplayer maps but anywhere from 70-90 on other multiplayer maps.
As far as TF2 goes I get about 100fps on most maps. haven't tried L4D or L4D2 yet.
I didn't get any choppiness attributable to the computer.
Fan:
The fan on the side starts up and probably goes to full speed blowing out some hot air while playing MW2 but it goes back down during map interims.
The keyboard doesn't seem to get too hot around the wrist rest in fact it doesn't even seem to get warm.
Speakers:
Are really poor but what do you expect? At least the machine comes with some headphones. I don't have any experience with any noise canceling headphones so I can't say if they're any good with that respect.
This laptop really packs a punch. Diablo 3 and SCII should run just fine!

sweet man, thanks for the info! you wouldn't happen to also have bad company 2 would you?

sorry no BC2. My guess is that it would run pretty decently... lol

So I just hooked up the Z to my TV via HDMI and games were running great on the TV. The weird thing is when I go into the game option it says I'm running at 1600 x 900 but my TV is reporting a 1080p signal. Framerate wise the games were running at about the same as 1600x900 so I think that things might be getting upscaled? but I'm not sure. Just thought I'd share

I'm running Mass Effect 2 at 1600x900, full settings, 4xAA and getting 25 to 35 fps on the i5 520m Z with 4 gigs of ram.
The fan gets loud but the keyboard only get very mildly warm near the spot where the CPU/GPU are located and not at all uncomfortable.
Quite a powerful machine! -
Can somebody try FarCry2 if they have it please..? And if they fancy a real challenge, how about GTAIV..?
