Its awesome, so fast and big. I have the wuxga and for people waiting for theres i just want to say that most people on the board are overexagerating the screen, its actually a very nice screen (no dead pixels too!)

However i do have a problem and ill try to post it in tech help too. When on battery games play really really slow, not choppy but slow as heck. It was kinda nice for nhl 2005 cause i had all the time in the world to deke and stuff. But i need to find away to fix that, thanks for the help!

when you are on battery the cpu is throttling down to as low as 600mhz, there is a way I believe to keep the cpu from throttling, I just do not remember it off the top of my head.

here's how you fix your problem:

First, on battery, choose the "always on" setting to get the max cpu speed.

then right click on desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> powerplay -> uncheck enable powerplay

the second one is the most important one out of the two, but I would highly reccommend using full speed when playing games. You'll only get 2 hours of play though... I'm glad you're happy with the WUXGA screen... i just got my replacement and they sent me another sparkling WXGA+ screen that I'm going to have to send back!

Maximum performance + uncheck enable powerplay = fast battery gaming
