Pretty Sweet Notebook
Pros: My overall experience with this notebook has been great! I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. If you are decideding to go for either this or the Asus G50 x1 then go ahead and chose this one, its worth the extra $$.
Cons: Whilst gaming for long periods of time it does get a bit hot.
Overall Review: I got a NZXT Cryo notebook cooler to cool down my laptop and now it is perfect! Even whilst gaming! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997340
Windows 7 64bit Drivers
Pros: -There is a noticeable difference between stereo and 7.1 digital surround sound. - Chord of sturdy (cheap-looking) material. -Microphone incredibly easy to position pretty much anywhere.
Cons: - Every Abs driver I tried crashed my computer A hassle to get windows 7 64bit drivers. (read below)
Overall Review: Ok guys, when I originally bought this, the site supported windows 7 64bit drivers, however-- they (for a reason unexplained) took all windows 7/64bit support drivers off their site. A working solution I have found to this is: Go to the SteelSeries website and download the STEELSERIES SIBERIA V2 HEADSET USB Drivers. It is the exact same interface as the old 64bit supported drivers from abs. To my knowledge, everything works fine.
An easy fix...
Pros: A saw a couple reviews (on this site and others) mention that the intake fan of their graphic card doesn't line up with the ventilation holes on the window. The easy fix to this is unscrewing the window and flipping it. I did this with a graphic card that has an intake fan on the middle of the card-- ventilation holes line up and it works perfectly.
Cons: no thumb screws on the case door 117mm cpu cooler limit
Overall Review: This is an awesome mini itx case... about the size of a large shoe box.
It appears I bought a machine gun
Pros: - Supplied cheap power - Scared my dog (Pro for me, Con for him)
Cons: Sounded like a machine gun- Something was hitting the fan when it turned. Returned.
Overall Review: I didn't purchase this from newegg so Your experience may be different.
