Well, I've ordered it. Finally. My Z70va is on it's way from ISTNC, to be followed closely by an 80GB, 7200 rpm Travelstar and 2 gigs of Samsung Transcend RAM from Newegg. Got a 1.86 gig processor, 2915 wireless, DVD burner,...

Hey, we're all about style here, right? So I thought that I, for the benefit of the fashion-crazed masses, would start a thread in which all of you could post links to your favorite wallpaper sites. I know we've all done hours upon...

Hey Dio. Kudos again for an immensely helpful review. BTW, have you updated to newer GPU drivers recently? And if so, what kind of performance increase did you get? Whatever your most recent and/or most successful GPU drivers are, I...

Well, I'm set on a Z70va. I'm buying a system with everything but hardrive and RAM and buying those parts on Newegg, and then assembling it all myself. So my question is, how tough is it to put a lappy together? Is it pretty much...

Thanks for the info so far...and the compliment on my avatar. Liverpool rules the Island and plays gorgeous futbol. Anyway, yeah, the W3V is another option. Is there anywhere I should look to get it for less than its MSRP? I have a...

OK, I really want to get a Z63a. Really. It's perfect size, weight, battery life...and gorgeous to boot. But I have a couple of questions. First, even though there's no dedicated GPU, would it be able to play older games like...

A question on this same kind of topic. Does anyone know if the Napa chipset (the first Yonah chipset for those who don't recognize the name) be compatible with more than 2 GB of RAM? I know that when Merom comes out, there will be the...
