if your considering the slot load drive please remmeber it does make weird noises when accessing or when you open up my computer, and when you turn it on. I believe its the same is the tray one just that it has a slot which i don't think is worth the extra money but it looks cool

Good review mate i really enjoyed it, thanks a lot, it cleared up a lot of things.
Can you take some aditional pics of where the holes for the integrated microphones are and you should give it a test and see how good it sounds/etc, Im curious if its any good.

P.S. - Do you always cut your wrists before writing a review?

mic is alright, volume is a little low though, clarity is decent compared to other mics i've had.


I sill have some of the plastic on the screen on the edges, the mics are the two holes, and hte webcam is in the middle and there are 2 spacers int he pic but there are 4 more around hte screen

Good excuse, ill use that next time i try to kill myself
One more question, how's the sensitivity on the mic, is it good enough so u can sit comfortably 1 foot away from it and speak at a normal level or do you hafta yell at it?

Great review. Would comment on the quality of the LCD screen. Do you have any backlight bleed? Brightness, uniformity, etc.
Getting mine in a few days and the wait is killing me.
This a great forum. Thanks

Well, I didn't know much about backlight bleed till you asked, so I looked it up online for how to test for it and it told me to turn off the lights, put up a black screensaver and take a picture, these are the results.






I don't think that it is that much compared to my hp dv4340us or my samsung syncmaster 191t. You guys be the judges though.

Question for you guys, when I was shopping around for the laptop I found ibuypower to have the ability to add graphics on the lid. Does anyone know how they did that. I emailed them but I doubt they'll tell me.

They have some weird lids, I like mine without a panel. kpxgg, its like I said in another thread, The S96j may look like an average notebook, but it has the power of a high end notebook(and scares people)

I wouldn't mind adding a panel with something on it but I sure as hell wouldn't want that anime crap they have at ibuypower
