DVD Playback?

Hello,

Thanks to all of you who have taken time to reply to my post. It really helps to hear from people who actually own the v6va. From what you've said it seems like it's a really great laptop. The screen seems comparable to the N3530. There have been a couple of comments about response time. I don't game so that's not an issue, but I would like to pop in an occasional dvd when I travel. How is dvd playback? Is it smooth or are there any slight issues with it. It's not a deal breaker if there are slight issues (assuming they are slight), but it would be nice to know in advance.

It would be nice if the keyboard was more thinkpad-like, but I can deal with that. The trackpad is a non issue since I always use a mouse when I'm at the desktop.

Thanks again.

The screen is at least comparable if not better, since there have been retailers who are convinced that this is the best screen out there. If it is a derivative of the fujitsu ACEview, it's possible that it may be more refined. There is no issue with response times, and there's no ghosting whatsoever. I think whoever mentioned the response time was referring to that in comparison to a desktop LCD, in which case, of course, the LCD has a faster response time, though the IPS screen's response time is by no means substandard. DVDs play very well, i've tried a couple using both WMP and nero showtime.

The keyboard once again doesn't exactly give the same tactile feedback as a thinkpad's, but if you get used to it, it's of about the same quality, solid and clean. I'm still trying to get used to the touchpad buttons, but the pad itself works well. I think the issue is that the buttons are part of the same piece of metal that frames the pad, so pressing down near the top of the buttons doesn't work.

If you mean the V6Va, then no. I'm pretty sure the Z70 has just a plastic keyboard too. I've only ever seen aluminum keys on the apple notebooks. The palmrest is aluminum, though, and that makes it durable and easy to clean.

DVD playback is very good. The colors produced are vivid and because of IPS viewing angles it's a real pleasure to watch. The best thing about this laptop is the screen... I don't think I could use a different laptop screen ever again. If I was to nit pick I would say there is a slight ghosting but thats applicable to all laptops I have used so its really a no issue.

The keyboard is growing on me but Thinkpad keyboards is definitely better. The keyboard doesn't flex at all and would say its a solid choice. The touchpad is fine but the buttons are too stiff & travel is almost non existent so feedback is not great. Tap on the touchpad works well enough so you can more or less do away with the buttons.

A truely amazing laptop 10/10.

I couldn't agree more... A little bit of crap got inside yesterday. It's ideally designed for that too.
