You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

you can use powerstrip to bump the core/mem up as you feel fit

you can configure your ez-buttons for standby and screensaver

you can get tweaked omegadrivers instead of using ati catalyst

etc

I just got my CL56 yesturday too. Took a little over an Hr. to load XP, Drivers, Adobe CS, Office, Macromedia, and to customize all the settings.

I appreciate all the reviews, you guys helped me make my decision on this laptop, so far perfect screen, no dead pixels.

You guys know where I can get a cool sticker to replace the MWAVE one I have? I probably will paint the laptop to match the smoke and mirror gloss color that they have on Velocity Micro's website.

My Shinza case should be on the way!
