I usually use a mouse, but often I take my laptop with me to work on something and don't always want to take out my mouse (e.g. lecture hall). Since I disable my touch pad so my wrist won't make it move, I often end up having to take out...

Haha, read my reply at "the other notebook discussion board". I've owned my notebook for a couple days now, and so far (fortunately), no sign on any hinge cracking. This machine is awesome!

One more question: is a SODIMM a SODIMM? Reason I ask this is because Gateway says to make sure to buy memory that is compatible with my notebook. I know my notebook uses PC2700 333 mHz SODIMM, so is that all they're saying so they can...

that's lame...that leaves you with an extra 512 MB stick laying around afterwards... how much disassembly do you think it will require? Is it worth doing after my crappy 1 year warranty expires? do you forsee any problems?

Two points to consider: 1.) Integrated graphics...not too exciting 2.) Let's see if this notebook (or any MSI notebook) makes it to North America.

It doesn't matter. I'm asking how you measure battery life. Just like you commonly look at the speed of a CPU in gHz to compare, what is the best measure of battery life?
