    hi all,
    This model is from hong kong and i think its the same as the sz6 series from the us.
    T7100 1.8GHZ, 1G RAM, LCD, 8400M GS

    I would like to know about the graphics card, screen and camera..etc...

    Has the graphics card 8400M GS got dedicated memory (128)?
    The amount of memory can change if you switch between the two graphics cards. So does that mean its shared memory.

    What is the MP of the camera? 0.3 or 1.3?

    What is the 'nits' on the screen?

    How long is the battery life in reality:
    in Speed?
    and Stamina?
    How much extra battery life will I get if I get the 9cell battery and how much bigger is it?


    Thanks ppl.

    For the dedicated card it's 64mb not 128...
    Aso I think the camera is 1.3mp but not sure...
    I don't understand what you mean by nits...
    Battery in real life, it depends of the use...
    In stamina something like 3hours on constant use : music, internet browsing, etc... Much more on idle...
    In speed mode you get much less and laptop becomes noisy and hot...
    You will get something like 30% more battery time, maybe a little more, but it's heavier and a part of it is always visible... (too bulky)
