If it's gonna work of course...
When I said "tomorrow" it was a METHAPHOR. It could be in a year - doesn't matter... I meant that there are notebooks still good after couple of years, because what makes laptop good or not, it's not only the performance... It's design/build/assembly/component quality or stability and there is couple of notebooks that have it all. I'm sorry, but I don't see TM8204 among them... The performance is really amazing for so compact machine... today... but in a year or two? You'll get performance like this with every notebook - has TM8204 anything more to defend with? I don't think so...

size factor, weight, above average build. above and beyond a Dell which u can also buy for 2,000. If you can manage a better screen somehow i think you are in pretty good shape actually.

i wouldn't mind the screen if it didn't have the "noise" everywhere in WoW. Although it might just be the lines. I'll see whenever i get the QDI.


Course, I am still thinking of selling it at some point and getting an Asus.l Prolly a Z96j. Not as nice looks, but can configure to same performance and perhaps a better screen with same res (glossy). depends if i would take a big loss or not.
