Well, I need to get sell my computer for some much needed money. I'll have some pictures up on monday or tuesday when I get my camera back. I'm asking $1350 or best offer; email me (slapdick@gmail.com) with an offer and I'll be sure...

I'm pretty sure that's completely normal. Although I don't play many games, the 3d software I run does bog down a lot when I unplug the power cord; it will often take twice as long to render on battery than it does on AC power.

More RAM is never a bad thing. Yeah, no game today requires more than 512 MB of RAM, but then again, who's to say that tomorrow's games are going to be the same? If you are running some serious software (3ds max, lightwave, photoshop,...

I would just like to say that I love my 5680!! The service I recieved from PCtorque made the whole buying experience very smooth and I got the computer much earlier than I had prepared for. Good to finally have a good buying...
