Ratmyr's Biohazard EX7 (Hypersonic) Review - Page 3

gavinh. Not quite sure. I would assume it is a way for them to remote into the system and assist with problems (like Remote Assistance in XP). However, I am not quite sure

Update on system. I have been having a problem with the system during the last couple of weeks. I have been working with tech support on this issue (not looking to send the system back unless it is absolute - even then will wait until I move back there this August).

The problem is this. I can run the system for hours. I can surf for days and the sort. However, I am continually playing Guild Wars and there has been quite a few times that the system will simply freeze up. We ain't talking ice freeze. The last shot in the game is sstill on the screen, the mouse is froze where it was last at. The system is just stopped. I have to power it down and the reboot the machine.

Been looking at everything to include drivers (old and new), blowing out vents (regularly do this - but what the heck - did it again) and the sort. I am saving the reload of the OS as a last result as I hate going through all of that. Tech support provided me a memory tester to run and after running it for several hours, no problems have been found.

Once i find out more, I will update the thread. That aside, everything else is running great. So looking to get this resolved as soon as possible. My plans are to get the upgrade upon the return back to the US, so if it is a major problem, I may just wait until then to resolve.

Hmmm. The problem that I have been having may be more game related than anything else. I started researching the game tech areas and found a lot of people who are having a lot of the same problems that I am. Will look into this a bit more. Man... I hope this is the case.

ingentingmendeg. I will take a picture this weekend and ensure you get a copy of it.

They have the option of placing a custom image on the laptop as well. If you look through the gallery on their site, you can find some amazing shots. A nice Iwa Jima paint job that resembles the cover being blown out showing the memorial inside it. Think about this where it is a blown out cover and then graphics beyond that is what the inside of the LCD would look like.

Check with sales though for more detail information.

I am not aware of a glow effect. Your right... I don't have a logo to test with... But that aside, the logo (as far as I know) is painted on. As such, I don't know how it would glow only when it is on. They could have used some paint that had the "glow in the dark properties," but it would do the same whether it was off or on. Interesting tidbit to find out.

I just wanted the neon lights in the case to come through the speakers or vents... give this beast a glow.

Now that is awesome. I would not have minded having BIOHAZARD carved into the back of my system. Hmmmm... got me thinking now. Now just set the customized lighting like DELL has so that I can tell it what color I want it to glow....

Good info. Thanks.

Could not tell you this at all. I never looked for this previously and since my system is no longer in my possession (and some postal employee is getting some major gaming accomplished), I can't check for you.

Sorry.

Maybe someone else either here or with the 9860/9880's could provide you a bit more.

Now... I am off to cry for a bit - I miss my system.

Not sure how much you have followed the thread here (and greetings again my fellow Bavarian - even though I am back in the US of A now), but the good ole post office "misplaced" my EX7 when I was shipping it back to Hypersonic. I was beginning my move back to the states and what Hypersonic and I were going to do is ship my laptop to them, they would upgrade to the 6800ultra (the big card at that time) and then once they were completed, overnight it to me in Virigina. This way, I wouldn't miss it because of the moving and the upgrade would have been completed.

However….. It never arrived to Hypersonic and to this day, I have yet to be reimbursed - even though we are making weekly calls to the post office to find out the deal. So…… because I hadn't been reimbursed for the system, and the fact that a lot of money was burned up with the PCS move back here and getting into a very nice house, I was limited on funds. The CX7 seems to be the best system for gaming at more of an affordable level. It may have a Pentium M, but I am also decking it out with 2gb of memory, the 7800GTX, etc. So it will be nice.

Do I miss my EX7 - you better believe it. It was really unique and one of my favorite systems. I would also love to have played around with it with a 7800 installed. I think this would have been a kick butt system. I was also looking at replacing it with a modern EX7 or FX7, but at this time, coming up with an additional $2000-2500 was not in the cards. So the CX7 will do fine, give a new review for Hypersonic and all for just under $3000.

Hopefully - I didn't lose your attention, but that is why I ended up with the CX7. And as far as why the CX7 as opposed to the 5720 - I have had no complaints and no heartaches with Hypersonic. I mean - since the spring of 04, I have purchased about $12,500 worth of laptops from them (the GX7, EX7 and now the CX7). I am very happy.
