i've had mine for a couple of days now. Clevo definately did their engineering work on this one, it is a lot better than the 4780. it is quieter, and nothing in it heats up as much either. You'll recall 4780 users had problems with...

It always takes me much longer to post when I'm watching them You can disable signatures you know, so you don't have to watch this 'offensive material'. I use these forums as a resource from work all the time, I don't see it as a...

To me a 15" with 1400 x 1050 is the perfect resolution, 1600 x 1200 is just too small, yet 1280 x 1024 is a little large. I think most people would agree with that. The 17" screen in the 8790 is 229mm high, which is the...

it is only going to be 1440 x 900 screen. You might want to look into ram upgrade prices from other vendors. Or comparing how much more Eurocom is for their 8790 over their 4780. They will be much more expensive than anyone else

Their older descriptions said that, but they let us order 12 cell + tv tuner all in one notebook. I don't know what has changed, maybe they re-engineered the TV Tuner

Heh, that basically covers it. The options we are getting are: 12 cell battery, tv tuner, dvd+-rw, camera and subwoofer. Of course all the other specs are standard.
