martynas, my fan goes on at full speed frequently as well. Bhead sent me a PM a couple weeks ago with the same comment: Quote: I just got my MW1 from powernotebooks.com, and the fan comes on full blast every 75-90 seconds for...

Hey, Raph, I'm sorry for doubting, you were right on with the battery. I just played a movie from my hard disk and with automatic CPU frequency scaling (was down at 1gHz most of the time) under Linux and got only 1:12 from a full charge....

Info on MW1 availability at the end, if you're not interested in the vendor info. Wow, I am INFURIATED! MGE PC called me this afternoon (a WEEK AND A HALF after placing my order!) to tell me that the MW1 was on backorder and wouldn't...

Just an update on my MW1 order: Called MGE today and they said there was a "delay with my model" but that I would receive it within a week and they would contact me with an update. If I get it within a week that's still well...
