WXGA means more games will be able to run in native resolution w/ out sacrificing to much performance with the X700 GPU. Also playing games at 1024x768 and turning of the stretch in the drivers to run it in native resolution will still fill up practically the whole screen! And will look and play awesome. Try that on a WSXGA+ or higher and it will look like a little stamp in the middle of the screen LOL!.

It won't look THAT good @ 1024x768. You'd probably be better off sticking with native @ 1280x800. Otherwise, the WSXGA+ should look better if you had to play at non-native 1024x768 due to its higher pixel count, which should allow it to do a better job at the interpolation.

... FORGET IT, I just figured out what you were talking, about, lol! That's a cool idea; I wonder if you wouldn't mind the 20%, horizontally, of the screen that you'd be missing. I guess it's not that much. Anyways, in defense of my mistake, I'll say: make sure you type BOTH "f's" in "off" .

See http://www.notebookforums.com/showth...=101846&page=1

I think under different conditions, battery life is longer (Wi-Fi off, light usage [not playing DVDs], low brightness)

MSI dead pixel policy is 5 for 12" and 7 for 15.4", but i've neither seen nor heard of any more than 1 dead pixel on the 1029s. Mine is flawless, I think Unleaded's was, too. Unless cyberpower offers an additional guarantee, which I don't see on their site.

did you try their chat feature to get a hold of someone?

CoffeeShark,

Can you do a review with your impressions of this machine? If not, could you post some pics of the screen with gaming, DVD, and desktop content? I'm sure lots of folks would appreciate it!

looks like they added even more CPU options to the list, now have an option for the MT-40, and they removed the ML they put on it this morning (thank god).

I wish I ordered mine from them. I got mine from xmeld without anything to save money by building it myself but cyberpower has just as good a deal as me plus I have to build mine, Still waiting for the proccesor to get here.

Honestly, I think the MSI MS-1029 looks damn good!





Now if they(MSI) could only get to the bottom of this memory issue people have started to find out about... If there is nothing they will do about it I don't see me orderning this computer. And will probably have to go with the Ferrari 4000 instead. If the MSI MS-1029 is only going to run the memory at DDR266 speeds when two sodimms are installed. That's just wrong... maybe 4 years ago it would be OK.

it's actually a pretty good looking laptop in person, not the smoothness of some of the Asus models, but very clean and professional looking.

ramificatio:

The memory issue occured when you use both memory slots anyway. If you use only 1 slot it runs at the correct clock speed.
