Yes, it'l play fine but its the graphics processor that's going to hold u down a bit. HL2 plays fine at medium settings with not much lag. As for Battlefield2, you're gonna stutter a lot. You'll have to lower the graphics settings a lot...

I haven't tried that, but I wouldn't think so. What's a couple extra seconds with a reboot? I'm sure you won't be needing to hot-swap that often now, will you? I've only seen myself swapping only once in a while. Sometimes just popping...

I dont believe the bay is hot swappable. It wont lock up your system when you pop it out optical, but it wont see the drive when you insert the HD. So I wouldn't call it "hot-swappable", but maybe "hot-popable". ...

Hey, Eddie. Maybe who ever built it forgot to peel off the backing before putting on the heatsink. I've heard of someone doing that one before.

It's a big unit. So with a big screen, you'll need power. So the battery won't last as long as a 14" screen like the W3. I would say the W2 is very portable, for a table or office, but not for a crowded classroom. You'd be surprised...

I'm using valueRAM, I don't really see much of a gain with any other so-called "name brands". Also to answer the original poster's question- if you've got the money, they YES!!! It is worth it to get 2gb of memory. ...well...

I second... um, third that. NTFS runs much more reliably. You'll get the blue screen of death 100x's more in Fat mode than you will (or ever) on an NTFS system.

Actually, that page isnt supposed to be up. There are no links from the Products page to that. The Z70 series have never made it to the US site. They must've copied and paste it there by mistake when working on another international...

Yeah, like what Eddie said, you should contact your dealer about that. Or if your savvy enough, you can pop it open and make sure everything's ok (vents cleared, heatsink is attached properly, etc).
