I think mine had a marking on the protective plastic strip around the bezel. You know what's great about VBI though is that the panel is just as swappable as any other component. As soon as a compatible one comes along that you...

Good points. For me, I was more concerned over brightness than contrast.....i.e. I just need to be assured I can read the thing easily at all times. I disagree on the viewing angle though. I find it more than acceptable for a...

You don't need any cleaning product either. 91° rubbing alcohol does beautifully.

It's the same deal. The GPU is attached, but you can plainly see it and how the heatsink will make contact with it. Do it the same as you would a CPU.

Probably something related to "fast user switching". I'd try the Microsoft Knowledge base. If you can get a glimpse of more detail from the blue screen it will help you immensely. Anything of note in the System or...

First of all, Core Duo is totally unlike the Pentium 4 and, clock for clock, well outperforms even the AMD X2.....so paying X2 prices for it wasn't painful for me. And, yes, the GPU is embedded in the mainboard but it is cooled by the...

Oh, definitely don't take my word for it. Hell, I'm just some schmuck on a message board forum. Search google for notebook hard drive comparisons and read for yourself....more than one review to account for testing discrepencies. ...

It's not a big deal. Asus posted some pictures showing them side by side and the difference, in reality, is very small. 1280x820 is like 1280x1024 only a little shorter.....and most people have 1280x1024 on their 17" and even...
